Bill > SB2073

This bill amends North Dakota law to modify criminal history record check requirements for the state treasurer's office. Specifically, the bill updates the process for applicants and employees who have access to federal tax information, removing independent contractors from the previous requirement. The bill reduces the timeline for subsequent criminal history record checks from ten years to five years, ensuring that individuals with access to sensitive federal tax information undergo more frequent background screenings. The changes aim to enhance security and oversight by mandating statewide and nationwide criminal history record checks for state treasurer's office personnel with access to federal tax information. The bill requires these checks to be conducted in accordance with existing state procedures outlined in section 12-60-24, providing a consistent and thorough approach to vetting employees who handle potentially sensitive financial data.
