AI Summary
- Replaces Virginia's state-level criminal history records check process with an FBI-approved channeler system for mortgage lender and broker license applicants
- Adds "FBI-approved channeler" as a defined term, meaning a private contractor authorized by the FBI to electronically submit fingerprints and receive national criminal history record information
- Removes the requirement for fingerprints to be processed through Virginia's Central Criminal Records Exchange, instead routing them directly through FBI-approved channelers to the Federal Bureau of Investigation
- Eliminates the separate state criminal records search component, retaining only the national criminal history records check requirement
- Applies the streamlined process to both initial license applications and acquisitions of 25% or greater ownership in licensed mortgage lenders or brokers
Legislative Description
Mortgage lenders and brokers; criminal history records check.
