Bill > HB1075

This bill allows the North Dakota Department of Emergency Services (DES) to conduct comprehensive criminal history record checks for final employment applicants. Specifically, the legislation authorizes DES to require job candidates to submit to both statewide and nationwide criminal background checks, with the nationwide check to be conducted according to the procedures outlined in section 12-60-24 of the North Dakota Century Code. By enabling these thorough background screenings, the bill aims to enhance the hiring process for emergency services positions by providing a more complete picture of potential employees' criminal histories. The bill creates a new subdivision in an existing law section and adds a new section to the chapter governing emergency services, which will give DES the legal authority to implement these additional screening procedures for job applicants.
