1998 SESSION
SB 419 Child welfare agencies.
Introduced by: Stanley C. Walker | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Child care. Requires that no person shall be eligible to operate or work in a child welfare agency who is the subject of a founded complaint of child abuse or neglect listed in the Child Protective Services Central Registry. A Child Protective Services Central Registry clearance must be conducted prior to licensure or registration for all child welfare agencies or within 21 days of persons beginning compensated or voluntary employment. The bill expands the list of barrier crimes for licensure as or employment in a child welfare agency, and provides that a person shall not be eligible to operate or work in a child welfare agency if he has been convicted of any felony within the last five years. However, the Commissioner of Social Services may grant a waiver of the prohibition on a nonbarrier crime conviction if the person is of good moral character and the waiver would not adversely affect the safety of children. Convicted child abusers and sex offenders shall be prohibited from providing family day home care. This bill was recommended by the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission in its 1997 Follow-Up Review of Child Day Care in Virginia. This bill is identical to House Bill 1388.
