be destroyed not more than 30 days after the local government's final
decision to grant or deny consent to, or approval of, the
prospective concessionaire's application for, or acquisition of, a
beneficial interest in a concession, lease, or other property
interest. Nothing in this section shall be construed as imposing any
duty upon a local government, or any officer or official thereof, to
request state summary criminal history information on any current or
prospective concessionaire or the affiliates or associates of that
concessionaire.
