Existing law requires the Department of Justice to maintain a certification or confirmation program for persons who roll fingerprint impressions for non-law-enforcement purposes and persons who are designated by agencies as custodians of records. Existing law requires them, except as exempt, to be certified or confirmed by the department, as specified. Existing law requires the department to refuse to certify or confirm a fingerprint roller or custodian of records, or revoke their certification or confirmation, upon, among other things, their conviction for a felony offense or their arrest or conviction for an offense that involves moral turpitude, dishonesty, or fraud, and that bears on the person's ability to perform their duties or responsibilities, as specified. Existing law also requires the department to refuse to certify an individual as a fingerprint roller, or to suspend or revoke that certification, upon the revocation, suspension, restriction, or denial of a professional license, if the denial was for misconduct, dishonesty, or any cause substantially related to the duties or responsibilities of their profession.
