Bill > AB357

This bill revises provisions related to background checks for public employers in Nevada by establishing new requirements for the release of information from two key databases: the Statewide Central Registry for the Collection of Information Concerning the Abuse or Neglect of a Child and the Central Repository for Nevada Records of Criminal History. Specifically, the bill mandates that when a public employer (defined as the State of Nevada, a state agency, or a political subdivision) requests information from these registries, the respective agencies must release the requested information within 72 hours via secure electronic transmission to the employer's designated email address. The bill ensures that the release of information follows existing confidentiality guidelines, such as requiring written consent from the individual being investigated and only disclosing relevant, non-prohibited information. By streamlining the background check process for public employers, the bill aims to facilitate more efficient hiring practices while maintaining appropriate privacy protections. The technical term "secure electronic transmission" is defined in existing state law to ensure the confidential transfer of sensitive information.
