MN SF4242

Requires security system companies to conduct background checks on all employees, including submission of fingerprints and written consent to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.

Employees remain conditional employees without access to sensitive security system information until the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension confirms no Minnesota felony or disqualifying offense convictions.

The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension must forward fingerprints to the Federal Bureau of Investigation to conduct a complete criminal history check on each conditional employee.

Security system companies must immediately dismiss any employee convicted of a disqualifying offense as determined by the FBI report.

The law becomes effective January 1, 2021, and applies to persons engaged in sale, installation, maintenance, alteration, repair, replacement, servicing, or monitoring of security systems.
