- Title
Using Electronic Fingerprinting for Criminal Background Checks.
- Authors
Blubaugh, Mary
- Abstract
Because state background checks revealed an increasing number of licensure applicants with criminal records, the Kansas Board of Nursing (BON) instructed its staff to research the problem. In 2005, the BON voted to introduce legislation requiring a background check for nurse licensure. At the same time, the BON was challenged to determine the best process for screening applicants. In 2008, the Kansas legislature passed a bill implementing a criminal background history and Federal Bureau of Investigation screening for all initial applicants for nursing and mental health technicians. At the same time, the board made the decision that this background check would be implemented using live scan fingerprint technology.
