Bureau of Criminal Apprehension required to perform background checks at the request of the Office of the Legislative Auditor

This bill requires the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension to conduct background checks when requested by the Office of the Legislative Auditor. It amends Minnesota Statutes section 299C.76 to officially add the Legislative Auditor to the list of agencies authorized to request criminal history information. The legislation defines specific types of records that can be accessed, including federal tax information and national criminal history records, while establishing confidentiality requirements for handling these sensitive documents. This change expands the Legislative Auditor's ability to access criminal background data for oversight purposes.
