Bill Summary
Background checks of maintenance workers. Requires a landlord to adopt a policy requiring individuals who apply for certain employment positions that include access to the rental premises during the term of a tenant's lease to submit to a national criminal history background check before the landlord may hire the prospective employee.
AI Summary
This bill requires landlords to implement a policy mandating national criminal history background checks for job applicants who would have access to rental premises during a tenant's lease. Specifically, before hiring such employees, landlords must ensure that potential workers submit to a comprehensive background check that reviews an individual's criminal history at the national level. The term "national criminal history background check" is defined by reference to another section of Indiana law (IC 25-1-1.1-4), which provides a specific legal definition. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2025, giving landlords time to develop and implement the required background check policies. The purpose of this legislation appears to be enhancing tenant safety by ensuring that maintenance workers and other employees who will enter rental properties have been screened for potential criminal history that might pose a risk to tenants.
