339.015. Criminal background check, fingerprint submission. — 1. The Missouri real estate commission may require that fingerprint submissions be made as part of an application seeking licensure as a real estate broker, real estate salesperson, and real estate broker-salesperson, as such terms are defined in section 339.010 and as provided in sections 339.030 and 339.040 .

2. If the Missouri real estate commission requires that fingerprint submissions be made as part of such application, the Missouri real estate commission shall require applicants to submit the fingerprints to the Missouri state highway patrol for the purpose of conducting a state and federal fingerprint-based criminal history background check.

3. The fingerprints and any required fees shall be sent to the Missouri state highway patrol's central repository. The fingerprints shall be used for searching the state criminal records repository and shall also be forwarded to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for a federal criminal records search under section 43.540 . The Missouri state highway patrol shall notify the Missouri real estate commission of any criminal history record information or lack of criminal history record information discovered on the individual. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 610.120 to the contrary, all records related to any criminal history information discovered shall be accessible and available to the Missouri real estate commission.
