DE HB20

Expands criminal background check requirements from just Division of Unemployment Insurance employees with access to federal tax information to all new hires, transfers, promotions, contractors, subcontractors, and volunteers across multiple Department of Labor divisions

Requires background checks for personnel in the Division of Unemployment Insurance, Division of Paid Leave, Department IT staff, those with access to the Workers' Compensation Second Injury Fund, and Vocational Rehabilitation Counselors who work one-on-one with vulnerable clients

Mandates subsequent background checks at least every 5 years for employees with access to federal tax information to comply with IRS Publication 1075 requirements

Enables the Delaware State Bureau of Identification to provide ongoing "rap back" notifications of any new criminal history information for current employees who have submitted fingerprints

Relocates the background check provisions from Chapter 33 to Chapter 1 of Title 19 to reflect the expanded scope beyond unemployment insurance
