ENHANCED BACKGROUND STUDIES
Background studies are required for people in certain health and human services programs, and for people who work in child care settings, if they provide care or have direct contact with people being served. These Minnesota statutes direct the background study process for entities required to initiate background studies. A study determines whether a person has committed an act that would disqualify them from providing care. Requirements for completing a background study vary according to the type of work or services the individual will be providing and the person's history, DHS has until Jan. 1, 2023, to transition to fingerprint-based studies.
