TO AMEND THE LAWS CONCERNING CRIMINAL HISTORY RECORDS CHECKS FOR EMPLOYEES OF SERVICE PROVIDERS; TO ALLOW THIRD-PARTY EMPLOYEE EVALUATION SERVICES TO PERFORM CRIMINAL HISTORY RECORDS CHECKS; AND TO INCLUDE INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS.
House Bill 1454, now Act 674, amends existing laws concerning criminal history record checks for service providers. This bill allows third-party employee evaluation services to perform these background checks. It also expands the scope of these checks to include independent contractors, in addition to employees. This means both employees and independent contractors working for service providers will be subject to these checks, which can now be conducted by external evaluation services.
