Bill > H4441

This bill aims to ensure compliance with federal standards regarding the handling of federal tax information. It requires state agencies in Massachusetts to obtain state and national fingerprint-based criminal background checks for applicants for employment and current employees who may have access to federal tax information. The bill defines "federal tax information" and specifies the requirements and procedures for the background checks, including the use of the information obtained and the ability to request additional information from applicants or employees. The bill also allows agencies to deem all their employees subject to these background check requirements if access to federal tax information is necessary for the agency's core objectives.
