Conducting Criminal Record Checks in Nebraska

Everyone who works with persons with developmental disabilities and does not hold a professional license must undergo a criminal background record check. The requirement covers persons who work for either state-operated services or private businesses that contract with the state. Individuals must file a complete set of fingerprints with the state patrol. The state patrol will make its own search and transmit the fingerprints to the FBI for a national check.
