				  disclosure of criminal history information obtained from the FBI. An FBI
				  identification record and information contained therein, however, may be
				  disclosed to the affected individual when explaining decisions or contemplated
				  decisions resulting in refusal to certify an applicant for a rider education
				  instructor certificate or termination of a rider education instructor
				  certificate. Information from an FBI identification record may also be
				  disclosed to a legal representative of the applicant with the consent of the
				  affected individual and may also be displayed, with the consent of the affected
				  individual, at an administrative hearing to resolve issues concerning the
				  record's content and use. If desired, the affected individual may also request

				  and arrest records. Criminal convictions are considered public records and may
				  be disclosed to the general public. Arrest records are private and shall not be
				  released by the department except in the process of verifying the disposition
				  of the arrests, or as otherwise required by law. Information regarding a
				  person's arrest records for offenses that may pose a risk to the health,
				  safety, or well-being of students may be used as the basis to delay rider
				  education instructor certificate decisions or for the suspension of a rider
				  education instructor certificate pending further inquiry and investigation.
				  Arrest records shall not be used as the sole basis to refuse a rider education
				  instructor certificate.

Current through June, 2024
The operation of motorcycles and motor scooters has been
				  found to result in a high incidence of disabling personal injuries and deaths.
