What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under the bill, before appointing an individual to a position in the state civil

service or with a political subdivision, the duties of which require the individual to

have access to federal tax information, the appointing authority for the position must

conduct a background check on the individual, which may include fingerprinting.

The bill also allows the appointing authority or a political subdivision to conduct

additional background checks on an individual who is appointed to such a position.

The bill requires the same background checks to be completed for individuals who

perform services under a contract with the state if the contract requires the

individual to have access to federal tax information.
