Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.

Your rights during background checks

Before a check, the entity must give you written notice of your rights and how to appeal. The entity must get your signed waiver on a Division-approved form. The entity, not the Repository, decides fitness using the state's VECHS program and only crimes that bear on fitness. If law requires screening rules or contest rights, the same rules apply to Repository records. Any appeal process must meet federal standards in 34 U.S.C. § 40102(b)(2)(C).

Fees and audits for screening entities

A qualified entity must open an account with the State Central Repository and sign a compliance agreement before requesting checks. Each fingerprint request must include the state fee plus the FBI fee. The Repository may audit entities, and entities must keep signed waivers for one audit cycle set by the Department.

Broader background checks for care workers

Qualified entities can request fingerprint criminal-history reports for employees, contractors, and vendors who work with children, seniors, or people with disabilities. Each request is voluntary and must follow the National Child Protection Act. The State Central Repository sends state and FBI records directly to the entity under a signed waiver. FBI records may be used only to screen people who have access to these vulnerable groups.
