An Act amending Title 4 (Amusements) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in fantasy contests, further providing for definitions and for general and specific powers of board; in general provisions relating to gaming, further providing for definitions; in fingerprinting, further providing for submission of fingerprints and photographs; in general provisions relating to video gaming, further providing for definitions; and, in administration, further providing for powers of board.

SB 31 requires criminal background checks for individuals working in Pennsylvania's gaming industry. It mandates that prospective and current employees, independent contractors, applicants, and licensees submit fingerprints to the Pennsylvania State Police for checks against state and federal criminal records. The Pennsylvania State Police must verify identities and check arrest/conviction records with the FBI, then share only the results with the Gaming Control Board to determine eligibility for licenses or permits. The bill strictly prohibits the board from sharing these criminal history results with any other entity.
