Text

(1) An applicant for
registration as a professional cash-bail agent shall supply the following information
to the division:

(a) Whether the applicant during the last ten years has been convicted of a
felony, entered a guilty plea to a felony, accepted a plea of nolo contendere to a
felony, or engaged in or committed an act that violates this article, a rule
promulgated under this article, or any act that would violate this article or a rule
promulgated under this article if it had been committed in Colorado; and

(b) Any other information required by this article or by the division, including
a full-face photograph, for which the applicant shall pay the actual costs if a
photograph is required.

(2) (a) Prior to submission of an application pursuant to this article 23, each
applicant shall have his or her fingerprints taken by a local law enforcement agency
or any third party approved by the Colorado bureau of investigation to obtain a
fingerprint-based criminal history record check. If a third party takes the person's
fingerprints, the fingerprints may be electronically captured using Colorado bureau
of investigation-approved livescan equipment. Third-party vendors shall not keep
the applicant information for more than thirty days unless requested to do so by the
applicant. The applicant is required to submit payment by certified check or money
order for the fingerprints and for the actual costs of the record check when the
fingerprints are submitted to the Colorado bureau of investigation. Upon receipt of
fingerprints and receipt of the payment for costs, the Colorado bureau of
investigation shall conduct a state and national fingerprint-based criminal history
record check utilizing records of the Colorado bureau of investigation and the
federal bureau of investigation.

(b) When the results of a fingerprint-based criminal history record check of
an applicant performed pursuant to this subsection (2) reveal a record of arrest
without a disposition, the division shall require that applicant to submit to a name-based judicial record check, as defined in section 22-2-119.3 (6)(d).

(3) To qualify as a professional agent, the applicant must have been licensed
as an insurance producer who furnishes bail in Colorado for four years before
applying for registration as a professional cash-bail agent.
