New Hampshire SB644 requires background checks for solid waste and hazardous waste facility owners.

New Hampshire SB644 mandates criminal records checks for applicants seeking permits for solid waste and hazardous waste facilities. The checks include both New Hampshire and national fingerprint-based records. Owners, officers, directors, partners, and other key personnel must comply with these checks.
