Purpose and Reason:

The Division of Human Resources (“HR”) is requesting a regulatory change to 220-RICR-40-00-2 (IRS Publication 1075 – Background Check Process and Criteria). This amendment is proposed to reflect an an update made by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in its IRS Publication 1075 (rev. 2021), which now requires the State to conduct a national background check for existing employees with access to "Federal Tax Information," as defined by the IRS, every five (5) years instead of every ten (10) years.
