This session will outline new background screening requirements and updated renewal expectations under House Bill 975 (2024), offering practical guidance for practitioners to support compliance. Staff will provide an overview of the mandates, clarify compliance expectations, address questions, and assist practitioners in preparing for a smooth transition as the new processes take effect.
