SB 603 Criminal background check; child care providers.
Introduced by: Patricia S. Ticer | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
National criminal background check; child care providers. Authorizes any business or organization that provides care to children, the elderly or disabled to request the Department of State Police to conduct a national criminal background check, through the use of fingerprints, on persons who work or volunteer at such "qualified entities." To conduct the background check, the Department shall utilize (i) the national criminal history background check system which is maintained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and (ii) the Central Criminal Records Exchange maintained by the Department. However, programs of religious instruction (such as Sunday schools, vacation bible schools, and Bar or Bat Mitzvah classes) and programs that provide babysitting during worship services are not entitled to request the background check. Additionally, the failure to request a background check shall not be negligence per se in any civil action. The bill contains a delayed effective date of January 1, 2001.
