Bill overview
This bill amends Nevada law to expand the types of entities authorized to obtain criminal history information for background checks. Specifically, it allows qualified entities, such as businesses providing care for children, elderly individuals, or people with disabilities, to also request criminal history information for independent contractors and vendors. The bill simplifies the process by eliminating references to employees and volunteers, aligning with federal requirements under the National Child Protection Act.
