Gaming: other; authority to obtain criminal history records and fingerprints; provide for. Amends sec. 21 of 1996 IL 1 (MCL 432.221).

This bill requires the Michigan Gaming Control Board to obtain criminal history records and fingerprints for a wide range of individuals involved in the state's gaming industry. The law mandates that applicants for casino, supplier, and occupational licenses, as well as current and prospective employees and contractors, must submit fingerprints for checks with the Department of State Police and the FBI. Additionally, the bill requires the Department of State Police to retain these fingerprints in an automated system to automatically alert the board if new criminal arrests match existing records. The legislation also clarifies that the board cannot share these criminal history results with private entities and allows the state police to charge a fee for conducting these checks.
