Summary

The bill amends the criminal procedure law to let any prospective employer of a volunteer or paid firefighter request the applicant’s background‑check records. The applicant must receive a copy of any records obtained and be given a chance to explain them. This expands the types of agencies that can access such records beyond education and mental‑health offices.
