Latest action (Jun 2, 2025) Introduced In Senate - Assigned to Business, Labor, & Technology

Summary

The act allows regulators of the following professions and occupations to require an applicant for a license, certification, or registration to submit to a fingerprint-based criminal history record check (fingerprint-based record check): Audiologists; Certified midwives; Cremationists; Dental hygienists; Dentists; Embalmers; Funeral directors; Licensed professional counselors; Mortuary science practitioners; Natural reductionists; Occupational therapists; Occupational therapy assistants; Physician assistants; Social workers; and Speech-language pathologists. An applicant submitting to a fingerprint-based record check must pay the costs associated with the fingerprint-based record check. If an applicant's fingerprint-based record check reveals a record of arrest without a disposition, the applicant must submit to a name-based judicial record check. A local government entity is authorized to perform a fingerprint-based record check when an ordinance or resolution requires an individual to submit to a fingerprint-based record check. The act also clarifies who is eligible to submit to, who is eligible to receive records from, and the type of records an entity may receive from a fingerprint-based record check and aligns state law with federal bureau of investigation requirements. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
