Bill > H4812

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 any applicant for employment or current agency employee whose position requires or may require access to federal tax information. The bill defines key terms like "access," "federal tax information," and outlines the process for conducting the background checks, including the fees involved and the handling of the results. The bill also provides guidance on how agencies should determine suitability for employment based on the background check findings and the actions they can take, such as termination or reassignment, if an employee is deemed unsuitable.
