SB 6404 adds language regarding background checks indicating that for purposes of renewal of the background clearance or certificate, all agency licensees holding a license, persons who are employees, and persons who have been previously qualified by the department, must submit a new background application to the department on a date to be determined by the department. Applicable fees apply to background clearance renewal applications.
Payment requirements do not apply to:
