HB 1040 requires state executive branch employees who handle confidential tax information to undergo criminal background checks more frequently than before. Instead of getting rechecked every ten years, these employees will now be required to submit to background investigations every five years. This change applies to both new and current employees with access to Internal Revenue Service data and similar confidential information.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
