The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2025 Supplement, section 299C.76, subdivision 1, to require the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension to conduct background checks at the request of the Office of the Legislative Auditor. This change aims to enhance public safety by ensuring that the Office of the Legislative Auditor has access to necessary background information for its oversight functions.
In the amended section, the definition of "requesting agency" is updated to include the Office of the Legislative Auditor, thereby formalizing its role in requesting background checks. This addition is intended to improve the transparency and accountability of state agencies by allowing for thorough audits and evaluations of their operations.
