2. In determining eligibility for licensure under this chapter, the commissioner shall require each individual applying for a public adjuster license to submit a full set of fingerprints with the application. The commissioner shall also require each business entity applying for licensure under this chapter to submit a full set of fingerprints for each individual who will be acting as a public adjuster on behalf of the business entity. The commissioner shall conduct a state and national criminal history record check on each applicant. The commissioner is authorized to submit fingerprints and any required fees to the state department of public safety, the state attorney general, and the federal bureau of investigation for the performance of such criminal record checks.

The commissioner may contract for the collection, transmission, and resubmission of fingerprints required under this section and may contract for a reasonable fingerprinting fee to be charged by the contractor for these services. Any fees for the collection, transmission, and retention of fingerprints submitted pursuant to this subsection shall be paid directly to the contractor by the applicant.
b. The commissioner may waive submission of fingerprints by any person who has previously furnished fingerprints if those fingerprints are on file with the central repository of the national association of insurance commissioners, its affiliates, or subsidiaries.
c. The commissioner may receive criminal history record information concerning an applicant that was requested by the state department of justice directly from the federal bureau of investigation.
d. The commissioner may submit electronic fingerprint records and necessary identifying information to the national association of insurance commissioners, its affiliates, or subsidiaries for permanent retention in a centralized repository whose purpose is to provide state insurance commissioners with access to fingerprint records in order to perform criminal history record checks.
