Plain-language change summary

The amended version of Bill HB 2157 introduces a new section to Virginia's law regarding interjurisdictional compacts that require criminal history checks for applicants. Specifically, it clarifies the responsibilities of the health regulatory board in handling fingerprints and personal information during the criminal record search process. Additionally, the amendment establishes that applicants will have the right to request their criminal history records if they are denied licensure due to information from these checks. These changes are significant because they ensure a clear process for applicants while also protecting the privacy of their information.
