A. For purposes of this section and paragraph 8 of Section

individual employed by or working on behalf of an Oklahoma licensed
alarm or locksmith company for the purpose of selling technology
devices and services to the general public in a commercial retail
setting, including alarm, locksmith and fire sprinkler services and
equipment.
B. 1. Every retail counter sales agent shall undergo a
national criminal history records search by a third party or the
Department of Labor. The Department of Labor, upon establishing
good cause, may demand that an alarm, locksmith or fire sprinkler
company provide the results of a criminal history records search for
an individual retail counter sales agent. Upon receipt of any such
demand, an alarm, locksmith or fire sprinkler company shall have a
reasonable period of time to provide the results to the Department
of Labor. The Department of Labor shall not disseminate the results
of any criminal history records search described in this subsection,
and such records shall not be subject to the Open Records Act. For
purposes of this subsection, "selling" means the initial
communications with the customer to determine the appropriate alarm
products or systems to be purchased and installed, but shall not
include actual installation locations or the final design, plan or
laying out of the alarm products or systems. No person shall act as
a retail counter sales agent if the results of the criminal
background check are unsuccessful in accordance with the Arrest and
Conviction Records in Employment Best Practices brochure published
by the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
