Version:

Deletes the term "agent of the contractor" in sections 28-17 and 846-2.7, HRS, to comply with requirements of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.  The Federal Bureau of Investigation deemed the term overly broad for purposes of accessing its criminal history background information.  Clarifies that "contractor's employees" who have access to federal tax information held by the Department of the Attorney General may be subject to fingerprint-based background checks.
