Missouri cannabis industry is expected to make changes to the background check procedures of its employees. The State Senate approved Legislation mandating fingerprint checks.
Only entrepreneurs have to be fingerprinted for criminal investigation. However, the new legislation extends this requirement to all cannabis company employees, contractors and volunteers.
The bill also includes revisions to background check protocols for schools and childcare facilities.
While the Department of Health and Elderly Services and the Missouri Cannabis Trade Association support the legislation, concerns are raised about possible delays in hiring for a significant period of time job growth.
The bill now awaits governor approval.
