SUBJECT:Criminal Record Checks – Increase in Fee

______

The Office of Long Term Care has been notified by the Arkansas State Police that the fee for a State criminal record check will increase from fifteen dollars ($15) to twenty dollars ($20) effective July 1, 2003. Attached to this memorandum is a revised DMS-736 form, Request for Criminal Record Check, reflecting the new fee amount. Please start using this new form on all requests that are post-marked on or after July 1, 2003. All requests for criminal records that are post-marked through June 30, 2003 will be accepted with the old fifteen dollars ($15) fee. At this time the fee for the FBI record check remains at twenty-four dollars ($24).

Please use the attached revised DMS-736 form for copy purposes to use for stock supplies of the request form. This form will also be posted on the OLTC website for future needs. The OLTC website can be found at:
