Relates to the provision of criminal history background checks free of charge to mentoring programs operated by not-for-profit corporations

This bill exempts not-for-profit mentoring programs from paying fees for criminal history background checks on prospective mentors. To qualify for this exemption, the programs must be operated by specific types of organizations, such as not-for-profit corporations, educational institutions, or school districts, and must provide blank fingerprint cards to applicants. The legislation amends existing laws to ensure these organizations can conduct necessary background searches without incurring the standard processing charges, while still requiring them to submit fingerprints and other required information to the state division of criminal justice services.
