This section explains the rules for background screening, who qualifies, what can disqualify someone, and how exemptions work.
Level 2 screening is a statewide and national fingerprint-based check used to review criminal history. Florida law (Section 435.04, Florida Statutes) requires this screening for employees and contractors in positions of responsibility or trust.
Some criminal offenses will disqualify you from employment in certain care provider or education roles unless you are granted an exemption.
