AI Summary

This bill aims to enhance the Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission's (ABCC) background check process by requiring fingerprint-based checks of state and national criminal history databases for certain individuals associated with alcohol license applications, including applicants, partners, corporate officers/directors, and license managers. The bill authorizes ABCC staff to receive and disseminate criminal record information in accordance with the law, and allows the ABCC to collect fees from applicants to cover the costs of the fingerprint-based checks. The bill also establishes a Fingerprint-Based Background Check Trust Fund to support the implementation of these background check requirements.
