Relates to fingerprinting and background checks of contracted service providers of student support services

This bill allows schools to delegate background check responsibilities for contracted student support service providers (such as tutors, substitute teachers, or educational consultants) to the providers themselves. It updates fingerprinting rules to require these contracted providers to meet state background check standards, eliminating the need for schools to conduct separate checks when providers already comply. Schools that opt into this process will no longer oversee fingerprinting for these workers, streamlining the verification for temporary or specialized staff. The change applies specifically to providers of "student support services" as defined in the law, not to all school employees.
