I think OP is asking which entity (store or judge committee) should be performing the background checks on volunteers, not whether or not the background checks should be done.

I don't think it matters in general, but OP, why does this matter to you?
Part of what I've been told is that if a business owner is forced to take on the staff as pseudo-employees, then they can be held financially and legally responsible for crimes those people commit, plus insurance issues and the like. As I'm not a lawyer and the information I'm being provided is second-hand, and my knowledge on MGL is limited at best, I figured I'd ask.
