This bill, introduced in the Minnesota House of Representatives, allows local governments (cities and counties) to conduct criminal background checks on individuals applying for certain types of jobs or licenses. Specifically, it targets positions giving access to residential or business property and licenses for operating cabaret or massage businesses. The background checks will include both state and national criminal records, and these checks require the applicants' consent and fingerprints. Local governments will use the results from these checks to decide if an applicant should be disqualified from employment or receiving a license. Failure of an applicant to cooperate with the background check process may lead to their application being denied.
