Fifty-Third Legislature, Second Regular Session
DCS; contractor employees; fingerprint requirement
Purpose
Specifies that an employee in information technology (IT) at the Department of Child Safety (DCS) must have a valid fingerprint clearance card when part of their job duties includes access to department information.
Background
Currently, DCS requires a fingerprint clearance card for employees of contractors and subcontractors who are employed in IT positions and who will have access to DCS information in any state data system. DCS prohibits employees from having access to DCS information until the employee meets the fingerprint clearance card requirement, and requires that an employee who fails to obtain a fingerprint clearance card be immediately denied access to any DCS IT system (A.R.S § 8-463).
There is no anticipated fiscal impact to the state General Fund associated with this legislation.
Provisions
1. Specifies that an employee in IT at DCS must have a valid fingerprint clearance card when part of the employee's job duties includes access to department information.
2. Becomes effective on the general effective date.
