Bill > HB304

This bill establishes new requirements for criminal background checks for individuals associated with the Office of the Auditor of Accounts in Delaware. Specifically, it mandates that current employees, those conditionally offered employment, and certain contractors who may access state systems, facilities, or data must undergo both Delaware and national criminal history background checks. These checks will involve submitting fingerprints to the State Bureau of Identification, which will then provide reports of both state and federal criminal history records to the Auditor or their designee. The bill also outlines procedures for ongoing monitoring of criminal history information for current employees and contractors, and clarifies that the Auditor's office will cover all costs associated with these background checks, with the information used to determine an individual's suitability for employment or continued access to sensitive state resources.
