This criminal history check shall include, to the extent available and permitted by law, a check for outstanding warrants and a check for pending felony charges in all such locations.

The foregoing shall not apply to a minor traffic violation (a moving traffic violation other than reckless driving, hit and run, driving to endanger, vehicular homicide, driving while intoxicated or other criminal offense involving gross negligence, recklessness, intentional or willful misconduct while operating a motor vehicle), to a conviction that has been legally expunged, or to a conviction for a misdemeanor that occurred while the employee was under the age of twenty-one (21) years; or

Such certifications shall be sent via electronic mail to: Verizon Enterprise Solutions, One Verizon Way, Basking Ridge, New Jersey 07920, Attn: VPP Compliance Office.

6. Without prior review and consent of Verizon, if an employee has been previously assigned to provide Services for Verizon and ceases to provide such Services for more than forty-five (45) days the felony and misdemeanor conviction check, database checks, and right-to-work check specified in Subsection 1 shall be repeated for said employee prior to the resumption of providing Service for Verizon.

7. Program Member shall, in its contracts with all permitted subcontractors and agents in the provision of services to Verizon, flow down the foregoing requirements.
