Bill Summary

Child services provider background checks. Requires an employee of: (1) a preventative provider that operates a child welfare program; (2) a provider of home based family preservation services; (3) a child caring institution; (4) a group home; or (5) a child placing agency; to undergo a background check once every four years. Provides that the employee is not required to complete a separate federally required background check to provide additional child welfare services for the same employer.

AI Summary

This bill requires employees of various child welfare service providers, including those offering preventative programs, home-based family preservation, child caring institutions, group homes, and child placing agencies, to undergo a background check every four years. Importantly, if an employee has already completed a federally mandated background check for child welfare services with the same employer, they will not need to complete a separate one for additional services. This aims to streamline the background check process for individuals working to protect children.
