another request for a criminal records check to be conducted under	428
this section for that person, the superintendent shall provide the	429
results from the previous criminal records check of the person at	430
a lower fee than the fee prescribed for the initial criminal	431
records check.	432

(E) When the superintendent receives a request for	433
information from a registered private provider, the superintendent	434
shall proceed as if the request was received from a school	435
district board of education under section 3319.39 of the Revised	436
Code. The superintendent shall apply division (A)(1)(c) of this	437
section to any such request for an applicant who is a teacher.	438

taxpayer agrees to make a donation to an educational scholarship	592
organization and not to designate a specific child as the	593
beneficiary of the donation, and if the annual total credit limit	594
has not been reached. If the application is approved, the agency's	595
notice shall indicate the amount of the credit authorized. When	596
the donation is received, the recipient shall issue a receipt to	597
the taxpayer.	598

Code.	614

authorized donations it receives pursuant to this section for	616
administrative or other expenses other than funding qualified	617

fiscal year that includes the date it was certified as an	620
educational scholarship organization, and each fiscal year	621
thereafter, the sum of the entity's qualified scholarships for its	622
most recently concluded fiscal year and the two fiscal years	623
immediately preceding that year is greater than or equal to ninety	624
per cent of the authorized donations the entity received in the	625
third most recently concluded fiscal year.	626

(iv) The entity will award at least fifty per cent of its new	627
qualified scholarships to students who did not attend nonpublic	628
schools in this state in the preceding school year. For this	629
purpose, a new qualified scholarship is a qualified scholarship	630
first awarded to a student who did not receive a scholarship from	631
an educational scholarship organization for all or part of the	632
preceding school year.	633

(v) The entity will comply with division (H) of this section.
