(a) The commission may not certify a person as fire protection personnel unless the commission, after review, has approved fingerprint-based criminal history record information about the person obtained from the Department of Public Safety under Subchapter F, Chapter 411, and from the Federal Bureau of Investigation under Section 411.087. (b) The applicant for certification or the fire department may submit the required fingerprint-based state and national criminal history record information to the commission.
