HB1003 modifies South Dakota's rules for criminal background checks of school employees by clarifying who must undergo fingerprint checks through state and federal law enforcement agencies. The bill expands an exemption so that instructors employed by certain entities (the text appears cut off, but likely refers to specific organizations or programs) are no longer required to submit to these background investigations. These changes streamline background check requirements while creating exceptions for particular types of school-related employment.
