Introduced by: Mary T. Christian | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Criminal background checks; adult substance abuse treatment programs. Permits community services boards, behavioral health authorities, and agencies licensed by the Department of Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse Services to hire for adult substance abuse treatment programs persons who were convicted of a felony for distribution of drugs or burglary where the building was not occupied at the time of the incident resulting in the conviction upon a determination, by the hiring agency, based upon a screening assessment, that such criminal behavior was substantially related to the applicant's use of substances, and that the person has been successfully rehabilitated and is not a risk to consumers based on his criminal history background and substance use, abuse or addiction histories. The Department of Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse Services will designate the screening contractor. To be eligible for such screening, the applicant must have completed all prison or jail terms; not be under probation or parole supervision, or any suspended sentence; have no pending charges in any locality; have paid all fines, restitution, and court costs for any prior convictions; and have been free of any suspended sentence, parole or probation for at least seven years for drug convictions and five years for all other convictions. In addition to any such additional information as the hiring agency or the screening contractor may require or the prospective applicant wishes to present, the prospective applicant must provide to the state screening contractor a statement from his most recent probation or parole officer, if any, outlining his period of supervision, together with a copy of any pre-sentencing or post-sentencing report in connection with each felony conviction. The prospective applicant must pay the cost of such screening, unless the board, authority, local department or licensed agency decides, at its option, to pay such cost.
