Criminal background checks under certain circumstances by local units of government authorization

SF 803 allows Minnesota counties and cities to require criminal background checks for specific job applicants. It applies directly to individuals seeking county or city employment involving access to residential or business property, and to applicants for cabaret or massage business licenses. The bill mandates that local governments conduct both state and national criminal history checks through the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, using applicant consent, fingerprints, and fees. Local governments must use the results to determine disqualification for these roles, with non-cooperation considered grounds for denial.
