SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Criminal records checks; employees of nursing homes, home care organizations, assisted living facilities, adult day care centers, and child welfare agencies.  Authorizes nursing homes, home care organizations, assisted living facilities, adult day care centers, and child welfare agencies to hire individuals who have been convicted of one misdemeanor involving moral turpitude if five years have elapsed following the conviction.
