AI Summary
This bill requires numerous professional licensing boards, educational institutions, and government agencies to conduct more comprehensive criminal background checks by submitting fingerprint images and related information to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for state and federal criminal history record checks. The bill mandates background checks for a wide range of professionals and workers, including medical professionals, psychologists, behavioral health practitioners, private investigators, repossession agents, household movers, yacht and ship brokers, peace officers, and employees of various state agencies and educational institutions. For each type of applicant, the bill requires the relevant agency to submit fingerprint images to the DOJ, which will then conduct a criminal background check and provide a state and federal level response. The DOJ will charge fees to cover the processing costs, which will be paid by the applicants. The bill also includes provisions for subsequent notification of arrests or dispositions and requires agencies to verify and update information periodically. Additionally, the bill appropriates $10,000 to the DOJ for administering these new fingerprint requirements and is part of the Budget Act of 2025, allowing it to take effect immediately.
