Pennsylvania SB31 amends gaming-related statutes to require fingerprinting and photographing for applicants and employees.

Pennsylvania SB31 amends the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to enhance the integrity of gaming-related activities. The bill requires criminal history record checks for prospective and existing employees, independent contractors, and applicants seeking registration, permits, certifications, licenses, qualifications, renewals, or other credentials from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board. The process involves submitting fingerprints to the Pennsylvania State Police, who then verify the individual's identity and criminal history with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
