HB1013 requires the state to conduct criminal background investigations on employees who handle vital records (birth certificates, death certificates, and marriage licenses) before they can be hired or retained in those positions. This is a new requirement designed to protect the security and integrity of vital records by ensuring that people with criminal histories don't have access to sensitive personal information that could be used for identity theft or fraud.
