fee increases incurred over the years from the FBI, FDLE, and other state and local jurisdictions, University background check packages must implement a rate adjustment for the first time since 2015. The rate changes outlined below will be effective for all
background checks conducted <b>after</b> <b>July 1, 2022</b>, and the new rates will be reflected in the following month’s billing cycle.
