relative to criminal background checks and relative to insurance coverage for intrauterine insemination.

This New Hampshire law streamlines the process for obtaining criminal background checks for employees and volunteers in various state departments to help address staffing shortages. It allows more government agencies, such as the Department of Revenue Administration, to take fingerprints directly from applicants instead of relying solely on the Department of Safety's limited number of fingerprinting sites. The bill also permits employers to accept police clearances from local law enforcement if an applicant's fingerprints are unreadable after two attempts, preventing job offers from being withdrawn due to technical issues. These changes aim to speed up hiring and volunteer recruitment while maintaining the requirement for national criminal history record checks.
