HB 5833 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Gaming: other; authority to obtain criminal history records and fingerprints; provide for. Amends sec. 19 of 2019 PA 149 (MCL 432.419).

This bill amends Michigan's sports betting law to require the state gaming board to collect fingerprints and criminal history records from individuals applying for or holding licenses related to sports betting operations. It expands the scope of background checks to include not only applicants but also current licensees, board employees, contractors, and specific management roles such as sports traders and heads of key departments like fraud, technology, and finance. The legislation mandates that these fingerprints be submitted to state and federal authorities for automated checks against new criminal arrests, with results shared with the gaming board while prohibiting the sharing of these records with private entities.
