When such an order is issued, it shall be the added responsibility of the applicant to submit his or her fingerprints, taken by the Orange County Sheriff's Department, as part of the application required in subsection (B) of this section. 4.

Licensing of massage business operators. Sheriff Lindy Pendergrass endorsed the changes as written above. He explained that applicant cards are not criminal history cards which stay in the computer forever. Applicant cards are used for identification and stay in the local office for just that purpose. A background check cannot be made without the Social Security number. He endorsed the new Section A-4 (D) in requiring the determination for further investigation to be approved by a district court judge, Commissioner Carey questioned why the concern on prohibiting persons with previous records from obtaining a license was not addressed, Attorney Geoffrey Gledhill explained that it is the State's practice that misdemeanors stay on a persons record for a period of five (5) years where other more serious crimes stay on a persons record for a longer period of time. The Sheriff cannot access the national system for record checks for local licensing requirements. Allen Stutts spoke in support of the recommended changes and recommended approval of the Ordinance. Rick Rosen spoke in support of the recommended changes and endorsed action by the Board. riziamagr
