Bill overview
This bill requires background investigations for employees, prospective employees, contractors, and prospective contractors of the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation. It mandates that these individuals submit fingerprints and proof of citizenship or legal work authorization to relevant agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The bill also establishes deadlines for current employees and contractors to submit this information, with initial investigations required within five years of hire or contract renewal. The goal is to enhance security and ensure appropriate vetting of personnel handling sensitive information.
