This chapter is enacted in accordance with a policy requirement
of the Division of Criminal Justice Services of the State of New York
as a prerequisite for the Police Department of the Incorporated Village
of Floral Park to apply for and obtain criminal history records of
applicants for employment with the Village of Floral Park, for membership
in the Volunteer Fire Department and Auxiliary Police, for licenses
relating to hawking and peddling, operating taxicabs or tow cars and
other activities requiring an investigation of the applicant before
a license is issued.
In order to determine the kind of past conduct which would preclude
any applicant from employment with the Village of Floral Park, from
membership in the Volunteer Fire Department and Auxiliary Police,
and from obtaining a license, the following criteria shall aid in
such determination:
A.
Where
an applicant has been convicted of any offense against any of the
laws, ordinances, rules or regulations of the State of New York, or
of any municipality therein.
B.
Where
an applicant has been found by any court of the State of New York
to have practiced any fraud, deceit or misrepresentation in the conduct
of any occupation, business or profession.
C.
Where
an applicant has had his or her license, which was duly issued under
any of the chapters herein, revoked at any time during the year prior
to the time of an application for renewal thereof.
D.
Where
an applicant has had his or her license, which was duly issued under
any of the chapters herein, suspended and the period of such suspension
has not expired at the time of the application for such license.
E.
If
an applicant has been convicted of any such offense, any decision
regarding such applicant's fitness for a license or employment
must be made upon consideration of New York State Correction Law §§ 701
through 703-b and §§ 751 through 753.
The applicant shall submit his or her fingerprints and any required
fees through a method approved by the New York State Division of Criminal
Justice Services for full search and retain processing. The Village
Clerk shall reimburse Volunteer Fire Department and Auxiliary Police
applicants for the required cost in the securing and searching of
the applicant's criminal history record.
This chapter shall become effective immediately.
