Funny you should post this now....
I just had a person contact me through my site about this very same thing. The conversation started over it being 12 weeks and a town still using the fingerprint excuse. I told the person the same statutes Ed has cited above and the history on it and they CALLED SLFU.
When you call, you get the same vague answers you get from the issuing authority "it sometimes takes over three months to get the background check". Of course, they do this just to get you off the phone.
I only wish mail didn't take so long at times (days) because it just gives them more wiggle room. When you send the mail, send it certified, return receipt requested so you have a legit record of when you contacted them.
