   Code to provide that the sheriff's department  or  the  Department  of

   based  criminal  background investigations on school bus driver permit      
   applicants.  Effective immediately.

          STATE MANDATES FISCAL NOTE, H-AM 1

        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
          Deletes reference to:                                                
          210 ILCS 45/2-215 new                                                
          Adds reference to:                                                   
          225 ILCS 46/37 new                                                   
        Deletes everything after the enacting clause.  Amends the  Health      
   Care  Worker  Background  Check  Act and the Vehicle Code.  Amends the      
   Health Care Worker Background Check Act to provide  that  a  sheriff's      
   department  shall  have the authority to process applicant or employee      
   fingerprints in a form and manner as prescribed by the  Department  of      
   State  Police.   Provides  that  a  processing  fee may be charged and      
   retained by an authorized entity, including a sheriff's department, in      
   addition to any fee established  by  the  Department,  for  processing      
   fingerprints  pursuant to the Health Care Worker Background Check Act.      
   Amends the Vehicle  Code  to  provide  that  both  State  and  federal      
   fingerprint cards of individuals seeking permits as school bus drivers      
   shall  be transmitted to the Department of State Police electronically      
   for processing and storage of the fingerprint  cards.   Provides  that      
   all  applicants shall be electronically fingerprinted by the sheriff's      
   department or by an agent of the Department of State Police  or  other      
   State  agency  providing electronic fingerprint services in a form and      
   manner prescribed by the Department of  State  Police.   Requires  the      
   applicant  to  pay  the  electronic  fingerprinting service fee, to be      
   retained  by  the   sheriff's   department   if   it   performed   the      
   fingerprinting  service or deposited in the State Police Services Fund      
   if an agent of  the  State  performed  the  electronic  fingerprinting      
   service.   Removes  the  provision that requires all fees paid for the      
   fingerprint processing services to be deposited into the State  Police      
   Services  Fund.  Provides  that  the employer shall be responsible for      
   having  the  school  bus  driver   permit   applicant   electronically      
   fingerprinted   by  the  sheriff's  department  or  an  agent  of  the      
   Department  of  State  Police  or  other  State  agency  and  insuring      
   electronic transmission (instead of being responsible  for  submitting      
   the applicant's fingerprint cards).  Effective January 1, 1998.             
          FISCAL NOTE, H-AM 1 (Ill. State Police)                              
          HB 1643, with H-am 1, would have no negative fiscal impact.
