(a) When the Department has exhausted all efforts described in 722, the disposition information shall be deemed to be unavailable. The Department shall not be required to repeat the Section 722(b) and (d) searches for an unavailable disposition in response to any future request from an authorized entity.

(b) Unless information release is otherwise authorized by law, whenever DOJ furnishes either national or state summary criminal history information to an authorized entity for employment, licensing or certification purposes, the Department shall not disclose any information related to any arrest for which it is unable to obtain a corresponding disposition. The Department shall furnish all other criminal history information, if any, which it is authorized to disclose pursuant to the statute(s) governing the specific applicant type.

(c) Unless otherwise authorized by law, where only an arrest record exists but the Department is unable to obtain corresponding disposition information, the Department shall suppress that arrest information and provide the authorized agency with a response that no criminal history information exists.
