ROE 40 is a Public Fingerprint Vendor.

What is Livescan Fingerprinting?
Livescan Fingerprinting refers to both the technique and the technology used by law enforcement agencies and private facilities to capture fingerprints and palm prints electronically, without the need for the more traditional method of ink and paper. There are major advantages to this new technology in the field of fingerprinting. First, there is no mess as with the black printer's ink. Second, there is no chance for human and/or mechanical error as there is with the ink fingerprint method. Third, the time lapse between the actual taking of the fingerprints and the background results is achieved in hours/days as opposed to months.
 
Who Needs to be Livescan Fingerprinted?
Today, almost all states are mandating the taking of Livescan fingerprinting of all applicants of positions of contact with vulnerable members of society, such as the elderly, children, the mentally ill and the physically disabled. As communities are invested in protecting these groups, Livescan fingerprinting has allowed for the quick and cost-effective background checks of people coming into contact with the protected element of our society. Livescan is required as a condition of employment and/or licensure for: Teachers and School Staff, Healthcare Workers, Security Guards, School Bus Drivers, Nurses, Foster Parents, Youth Volunteers, and anyone applying for professional licensure. Private entities may also use Livescan fingerprinting to conduct pre-employment screening on applicants.
 
How Does the Process Work?
A Trained and Certified Technician will scan your fingerprints using a Livescan machine. The electronic fingerprinting session takes five to ten minutes and your prints are immediately sent via electronic transmission to the appropriate agencies for background processing. The technician will collect all the appropriate fees from you (the livescan applicant). The results are sent electronically to the requesting agency for either Licensure or Employment Purposes.

Effective August 12, 2004, Public Act 93-909 amended Sections 10-21.9* and 34-18.5 of the Illinois School Code [105 ILCS 5/10-21.9; 105 ILCS 5/34-18.5] to require school districts to perform a fingerprint-based criminal history records check (also referred to as a “background check”) on all certified and non-certified applicants for employment with a school district. The criminal history records check must be initiated prior to employment, but a school district may permit the individual to be hired and begin employment pending the outcome of the criminal history records check. “Initiated” means the applicant’s fingerprint image has been transmitted via LiveScan to the Illinois State Police and FBI. Employees hired prior to August 12, 2004 are not required under the School Code to submit to a fingerprint-based criminal history records check. 
Fingerprint-based criminal history records checks apply to all the same individuals as the former Illinois name-based criminal background check.  For example, all teachers at charter schools and substitutes that apply to be hired are required to submit to this fingerprint check.  "Substitutes" include, but is not limited to, substitute teachers, aides, playground monitors, kitchen staff, etc.  See 105 ILCS 5/10-21.9 for complete listing.  Additionally, any employee(s) of persons or firms holding contracts with any school district who have 'direct, daily contact" with any students must submit to fingerprint-based criminal history records checks.  Bus drivers who are not employed directly by the school district, student teachers and volunteers are not subject to this fingerprint check (bus drivers are separately checked as part of their licensure), but a school district may require a student teacher or parent volunteer to submit to a fingerprint-based background check, where appropriate, under the Adam Walsh Act or UCIA, per district policy.
