As per Penal Code sections 11105(b)(11) and 13300(b)(11), cities, counties, districts and joint power authorities are authorized to access State and local summary criminal history information for employment, licensing or certification purposes. Penal Code section 11105(b)(11) also authorizes cities, counties, districts and joint powers authorities to access Federal level criminal history information by transmitting fingerprint images and related information to the Department of Justice to be transmitted to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
