  • Fingerprint-based DHS background study through NETStudy 2.0 before direct contact, for employees, contractors and volunteers; it covers Minnesota criminal history, predatory offender registration and maltreatment findings (Minn. Stat. §§ 144A.476, subd. 2; 144.057; 245C.08)

Why some registries are not screened yet

The registry blocks automated access
The registry's website turns away automated lookups. We don't work around that, so for now your staff search it themselves.

Guidance, not legal advice

This page summarizes ezOIG's research into Minnesota's rules for this program, checked against the regulations as of October 15, 2026.

Confirm what applies to you with Minnesota Department of Human Services (Minnesota Health Care Programs, MHCP) or your own counsel before relying on it.
