Bill Summary
This bill authorizes department of safety employees who are designated by the commissioner and authorized to receive criminal conviction information to obtain such information from state police for the processing of employee candidate background checks.
AI Summary
This bill modifies existing law regarding background checks for prospective employees of the Department of Safety, a state agency responsible for public safety functions. Specifically, it allows the Commissioner of the Department of Safety to designate certain employees who are authorized to receive criminal conviction information to directly obtain this information from the state police. Previously, this information was only reported to the Commissioner. This change aims to streamline the process of conducting background checks for new hires within the department by enabling designated employees to access necessary criminal history records directly from the division of state police, which handles both state and federal criminal history record checks.
