§ 2056c. Dissemination of criminal conviction records to the public
(1) "The Center" means the Vermont Crime Information Center.
(2)(A) "Criminal conviction record" means the record of convictions in the Criminal Division of the Superior Court.
(b) A person may obtain from the Center a criminal conviction record for any purpose provided that the requestor has completed a user's agreement with the Center. The user's agreement shall prohibit the alteration of criminal records and shall require the requestor to comply with all statutes, rules, and policies regulating the release of criminal conviction records and the protection of individual privacy.
(3) Prior to receiving criminal conviction records using the Center's Internet site, a requestor shall establish a secure, online account with the Center. Issuance of the account is conditioned upon the requestor's willingness to accept the terms of a user agreement with the Center which specifies the conditions under which record information is being released and specifies guidelines for the proper interpretation and use of the information.
(5) Only "no record" responses and record responses which constitute an exact match to the query criteria shall be returned automatically online. In the event that query criteria suggest a possible match, Center staff will determine whether the query criteria match a record in the repository and shall return the result to the requestor.
(7) The Center's Internet site shall provide an electronic mechanism for users to notify the Center of possible record errors.
(8) The Center's Internet site shall provide links to Center training information regarding best practices for the use of record checks as part of a complete background check process.
(9) The Center shall charge a fee of $30.00 for each criminal record check query pursuant to this section.
(10) No person entitled to receive a criminal conviction record pursuant to this section shall require an applicant to obtain, submit personally, or pay for a copy of his or her criminal conviction record, except that this subdivision shall not apply to a local governmental entity with respect to criminal conviction record checks for licenses or vendor permits required by the local governmental entity.
