Now I have a dumb question
I hope someone will know the answer. I am in our hometown living with family where they don't deal with a lot of military. The hospital wants me to pay for fingerprinting and an FBI background check because I haven't lived in the state for 2 years. My legal residence hasnt changed from this state since I was born so, in my mind I shouldn't have to do this (well, FIL told me I shouldn't have to but I want a second opinion). What do the MN's say? Should I just suck it up and fork over the $50 for fingerprints and additional $30-ish for the background check?

Re: Now I have a dumb question
I guess it depends if their requirement is because you haven't physically *lived* there, which you haven't vs. if you have continued to be a resident.
If I were in that situation, I'd probably just do it because I'd want the job. Maybe I would ask them to clarify, but at the end of the day if it means I would/wouldn't have a job, I would pay the money.

I don't think there is a way you could get out of doing the fingerprinting. I had to do it for the background check for my last job because I had not physically resided in the state for the last 5 years.
I would, however, ask if there are other places you can get the fingerprinting done. My employer recommended I go to our city office to have it done, and they would have charged me $40. It seemed like a lot for something that takes less than five minutes, so I called around. The office of a neighboring county usually only serves residents of that county, but they said since I was a mil dependent, they could help me and they only charged $5. For me, the 10 minutes of google searching and calling and a 10 drive was worth the savings. I'm not sure if this is a possibility in your area, but it's worth a shot.
hmmnm... Every single job I've had since HS has required a Background Check and Fingerprinting, but I have never been required to pay that myself. It was the responsiblity of my prospective employer to pay the bill.
I am confused as to why are they making you pay for it....
