An Act relating to national criminal history record checks for certain employees of the Department of Revenue; relating to permanent fund dividends; relating to the confidentiality of certain information provided on a permanent fund dividend application; and providing for an effective date.

This bill updates state laws to require fingerprint-based national criminal history checks for individuals seeking specific licenses, certifications, or employment positions. It directly affects applicants for roles such as alcohol beverage manufacturers, mortgage lenders, nurses, teachers, police officers, and health care providers who work with vulnerable populations. Under the new provisions, applicants must submit fingerprints and pay a fee to the Department of Revenue, which will then forward them to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for a background check. The legislation also clarifies that certain information provided on permanent fund dividend applications must remain confidential. These changes take effect on a date specified in the bill.
