1999 SESSION
HB 2572 Criminal background checks.
Introduced by: Mary T. Christian | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Criminal background checks. Requires national criminal background checks, including a fingerprint check from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), for any applicant for a job with an agency licensed by the Department of Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse Services and for any applicant with an agency that provides services under contract with a community services board, behavioral health authority or local government department. The requests for criminal background information are made by the authorized officer or director of the agency directly to the state Central Criminal Records Exchange, which shall forward the information to the FBI. Such direct access by a private agency is permitted by the Volunteers for Children Act passed by Congress in October 1998. The bill also provides a list of barrier crimes to aid the state law-enforcement agency in determining whether the applicant has been convicted of a crime that bears upon the applicant’s ability to be responsible for providing care to persons with mental illness, mental retardation or substance abuse. There are technical amendments.
