This subdivision does not, however, apply to any director or officer of a financial institution, or to persons serving in managerial positions for financial institutions, whose office or employment with a financial institution commenced, and whose felony conviction occurred, prior to January 1, 1991.
(b) Subdivision (a) applies to felony convictions of offenses specified in Chapter 10 (commencing with Section 1320) of Division 1.1, Article 4 (commencing with Section 5300) of Chapter 1 of Division 2, Article 8 (commencing with Section 14750) of Chapter 4 of Division 5, and Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 18435) of Division 7. Subdivision (a) also applies to felony convictions of offenses specified in provisions of the laws of the United States added or amended by the federal Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (Public Law 101-73).
(c) On and after January 1, 1991, any person who seeks employment by, or a controlling interest in, a financial institution specified in subdivision (a) shall, as a condition to obtaining that employment or controlling interest, permit the financial institution, its regulatory agency, or both to have access to that person’s state summary criminal history information, as defined in Section 11105 of the Penal Code, for purposes of determining whether the person has a prior conviction of a felony offense specified in subdivision (b) or any theft offense.
(d) Any state summary criminal history information obtained pursuant to this subdivision shall be kept confidential and no recipient under this subdivision shall disclose the contents other than for the purpose of determining eligibility for employment by, or acquisition of a controlling interest in, a financial institution specified in subdivision (a).
(e) The authority granted by this section to the commissioner and other regulatory agencies shall be in addition to any other authority granted by law to obtain information about the background of any person. Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit any authority of the commissioner or any regulatory agency otherwise provided by law.
(Amended by Stats. 2013, Ch. 334, Sec. 64. (SB 537) Effective January 1, 2014.)
