Due to the passage of S.B. 198, Section R81-1-26 needs to be amended to account for the changes in procedures for collecting and storing background checks. In addition to modifications to incorporate the legislative changes, the department will be amending the rule to address the following: starting 07/01/2015 a new system will be maintained by Utah's Bureau of Criminal Identification that will maintain background checks for applicable individuals. The new system will also notify the DABC if an applicable individual later has a conviction. Therefore, as of 07/01/2015 any new applicant will be required to submit to a new background check, regardless of whether the department has a background check on file. This rule eliminates the requirement for third party background checks to be submitted to the department as part of the application process. Applicants will continue to be required to attest that they have no disqualifying offenses and that they stipulate that they will surrender the license if a disqualifying offense if the background check reveals a disqualifying offense.
