House committee substitute to the 2nd edition makes the following changes.

Enacts new GS 143B-977 allowing the Department of Public Safety (DPS) to provide the Genetic Counselors Licensure Board (Board) criminal history for applicants seeking licensure. Sets out information that the Board must provide to DPS. Requires the applicant's fingerprints to be forwarded to the State Bureau of Investigation for a search of the State's criminal history record file, and for a set of prints to be forwarded to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for a national criminal history record check. Requires the Board to keep information from a criminal history report confidential and specifies that criminal history reports are not public record. Effective October 1, 2024.

Makes conforming changes to GS 90-757 to refer to items given to the DPS, instead of the Department of Justice, for the purposes of conducting applicant criminal history record checks.
