Provide for disclosure of criminal records between DOR and DOJ and fingerprinting of certain employees

This bill requires the Montana Department of Revenue to obtain criminal history records for its employees who have access to federal taxpayer information by requesting data from the Montana Department of Justice. It mandates that these employees submit fingerprints for background checks conducted by both the state Department of Justice and the federal Bureau of Investigation, with employees signing a release to allow this process. The Department of Revenue will cover all costs associated with obtaining these criminal record reports, and the law takes effect immediately upon passage and approval.
