This bill allows local governments in Minnesota to conduct criminal background checks on individuals applying for certain types of jobs or licenses. Specifically, it applies to job applicants who would have access to residential or business properties and applicants seeking licenses to operate cabarets or massage businesses. The background checks will include checking state criminal records and national criminal records through the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Local governments will require a consent form, fingerprints, and fees from the applicants to process these checks. The results from the checks will help local governments decide if an applicant is suitable for employment or licensing. If an applicant does not cooperate with the background check process, their application can be denied.
