AI Summary
This bill modifies existing procedures for background checks of prospective employees within the Department of Safety by allowing designated department employees, authorized to receive criminal conviction information, to directly obtain such information from the state police, in addition to the commissioner. This change streamlines the process for obtaining criminal history records, which are crucial for ensuring the suitability of candidates for positions within the department, by enabling a broader range of authorized personnel to access this data from the division of state police, which handles both state and federal criminal history checks.
