Background
•The 80th Texas Legislature passed a new law that will require anyone that is currently required to have a background check in a child-care center to also obtain a fingerprint check from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). •The law was first proposed as part of Senate Bill 21, but was adopted as part of Senate Bill 758.•Another component of Senate Bill 21 that was also adopted in Senate Bill 758 is the requirement for the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) Licensing staff to meet face-to-face with each child-care center director at least once per year and verify his or her qualifications according to minimum standards.

WHO The following persons must currently have a background check in a
child-care center: Directors, Owners and operators, Employees who provide direct care or have direct access to a
child in care, and Any person, including volunteers, counted in the child/caregiver
ratio; Any person under contract who has unsupervised contact with
children in care on a regular or frequent basis; and Any other person 14 years of age or older who will regularly or
frequently be working at the facility while children are being provided care.
Frequently--More than two times in a 30-day period. Regularly--On a scheduled basis.
• All of these individuals must now have a FBI fingerprint check as well.

WHEN
PHASED IMPLEMENTATION•Directors and Designees. Beginning September 1, 2007, all new directors and designees or existing directors or designees who are due for their 24 month background check must have an FBI fingerprint check.•Caregivers. All caregivers counted in the child/caregiver ratio that require an initial or 24-month renewal check must have an FBI fingerprint check starting January 1, 2008.•Others. All other persons requiring either an initial or a 24-month renewal check must have an FBI fingerprint check starting March 1, 2008. •Current staff and others who have a background check on record by August 31, 2007 do not require an initial FBI fingerprint until renewal or at a deadline to be announced in the future.

WHEN, continuedCLEARANCE BEFORE WORKING• Anyone required to have a background check MUST
complete all components (including the FBI check) of the background check BEFORE providing direct care or having direct access to a child in care.
• Exception: If you require a person’s presence in order to meet the minimum child-to-caregiver ratio, you may allow his or her contact with children ONLY if you have received clearance on the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) criminal history check and the DFPS central registry check.

How to Obtain a Fingerprint CheckThere are five main steps to obtain a fingerprint check:
1. DFPS web site: You must first request a background check on-line through the DFPS web site.
2. FAST Pass Form: The person requiring the fingerprint check must fill out a Fingerprint Applicant Services of Texas (FAST) Pass form.
3. Scheduling Appointment: The person must schedule an appointment with Integrated Biometric Technology (IBT) to submit his or her fingerprints in person.
4. Fingerprints: The person submits his or her fingerprints in person as scheduled.
5. Results: You receive the final results of the check.
Somewhere in between steps 1 and 4 you should receive the initial results of the DPS and the DFPS background checks.
![Page 9: FBI * Fingerprint Checks](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/56816341550346895dd3d127/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Page 9
Why Request a Background Check On-line?
• If you submit a background check on-line, DFPS can return initial results to you via email within 24-48 hours.
• However, if you submit a background check via a paper Form 2971, there is time lost in the mail and a person must manually enter your information and create a letter with your results. This could take 1-2 weeks.
• If a center does not have access to a computer they must receive permission from their Licensing representative to submit through the Licensing Form 2971.

2. FAST Pass
• The first step to submitting fingerprints is filling out a Fingerprint Application Services of Texas (FAST) Fingerprint Pass.
• This form is required when the person submits his or her fingerprints.
• The FAST Pass can be found on the DFPS web site at: http://www.dfps.state.tx.us/Child_Care/

3. Scheduling an Appointment• Schedule an appointment to submit electronic
fingerprints:• Online at the Integrated Biometric Technology (IBT)
website: • http://www.l1id.com/
• or • Via phone, toll-free at:
• 1-888-467-2080 • (8am-5pm CST)
• Make sure to have the FAST Pass form to help schedule an appointment.

Page 39
Who is IBT?• Integrated Biometric Technology (IBT), formerly Identix
Identification Services, is a company under exclusive contract with the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) to take electronic fingerprints for the purpose of criminal history checks.
Why Electronic Fingerprints?• Local law enforcement and some private companies can take
“ink and roll” prints, however, DFPS will not accept these fingerprint cards.
• DFPS requires the electronic submission of fingerprints in order to automate and expedite the processing of fingerprint checks.
• Ink prints on a card must pass through many hands and suffer a high rejection rate from the FBI for inadequate prints, all of which can result in weeks or months waiting for results.
