Informing the Legislature that on May 27, 2025, the Governor signed the following bill into law: HB991 HD1 SD1 CD1 (ACT 083).

This bill clarifies who must undergo fingerprint-based background checks for access to federal tax information by replacing the undefined term "agents of contractors" with specific categories: contractors, contractor employees, or subcontractors. It amends state law to require these individuals to undergo background checks when handling federal tax data held by the Department of the Attorney General. The law also ensures due process by mandating notification and an opportunity to respond before employment or service decisions are made based on background findings. This change directly affects contractors and their employees working with the Department of the Attorney General on federal tax matters.
