Allow the legislative auditor or state auditor to access expunged criminal records for hiring purposes

Summary

The bill adds language to Minnesota law so the Office of the Legislative Auditor and the state auditor can look at convictions that have been expunged and use them to decide whether a job applicant is qualified. It applies to final‑candidate evaluations for those offices and lets them disqualify someone if the prior crime is directly related to the job. The measure is currently referred to the State and Local Government Committee.
