Plain-language change summary

The amendment to SB 355 changes the requirement for criminal background checks in park districts. Now, only applicants who are 17 years or older need to undergo a background investigation, whereas previously, it was mandatory for all applicants. This change is significant because it reduces the potential barriers for younger job seekers applying for positions in park districts, making it easier for them to find employment.
