Carroll County - Prospective Employees and Volunteers - Criminal History Records Check

HB 831 modifies Carroll County's requirements for criminal background checks on prospective employees and volunteers. It expands the scope of positions requiring a background check to include those involving care or supervision of minors, in addition to existing roles like handling money, permit approvals, inspections, and work in county offices. The bill repeals prior limitations, requiring the County's Department of Human Resources to conduct State and national criminal history checks for these specific roles. The change takes effect October 1, 2025, directly affecting Carroll County staff and volunteers in the defined positions.
