AI Summary

This bill aims to enhance the background check process for the Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission (ABCC) by requiring fingerprint-based checks of state and national criminal history databases before approving any alcohol licenses under sections 12 and 15 of chapter 138. The bill also allows the ABCC to conduct such checks for other types of alcohol licenses. The bill establishes a Fingerprint-Based Background Check Trust Fund to cover the costs of operating and administering this system, funded by fees collected from individuals subject to the fingerprint checks. The ABCC must amend its regulations to implement the new fingerprint-based background check requirements, with a phased-in schedule starting no earlier than September 1, 2017.
