2. Authorization for Record Check:  The Volunteer understands that depending upon the nature of the volunteer assignment, the City of Louisburg or other sponsoring organization may deem it necessary to obtain a Driver’s License and/or conduct a Criminal Background Check on him/her.  Volunteer hereby consents to the City of Louisburg or other sponsoring organization conducting any such record or criminal background check and agrees to provide the City of Louisburg or other sponsoring organization with any and all information necessary to effectuate such check.  Volunteer understands that his/her failure to provide such information will result in him/her not being considered for volunteer opportunities with the City or other sponsoring organization.  Volunteer further releases the City of Louisburg or other sponsoring organization from any and all causes of action or liability which may arise from, or as a result of, the reports authorized herein.
