Bill > SF2334

This bill modifies background check requirements for housing support providers by removing previously established effective dates and creating an exemption for certain types of housing providers. Specifically, the bill eliminates the previously specified implementation dates of July 1, 2016 and July 1, 2017, and now allows providers of supportive housing and emergency shelters to be exempt from initiating background studies under chapter 245C, which is a state chapter detailing background study protocols. Previously, housing support providers were required to conduct background studies on controlling individuals, managerial officials, and all employees and volunteers who have direct contact with or unsupervised access to recipients. The bill maintains the requirement that housing support providers must still maintain compliance with established background study requirements for other individuals, but provides a new exemption for supportive housing and emergency shelter providers, potentially reducing administrative burden for these specific types of housing support organizations.
