Regulatory Agencies

(1) Unless otherwise provided by State or Federal law, upon written request by an authorized person of a State governmental agency, the general counsel may authorize disclosure to the requesting agency of criminal histories, records and data from bureau files, and the files of other states and Federal agencies for the limited purpose of determining whether a license or permit should be issued to any person engaged in an authorized activity affecting the rights, property or interests of the public. (2) Unless otherwise provided by State or Federal law, when an investigation by the bureau uncovers information pertinent to the status of a person holding or applying for a license from any governmental agency, the general counsel may authorize release of that information for use by the agency in its regulatory function. (3) At the discretion of the general counsel, a custody and receipt agreement may be required to limit use of confidential information.
