Bill > S600

This bill aims to provide financial relief to long-term care facilities by addressing the fees associated with obtaining criminal offender record information (CORI) for potential employees. Specifically, it amends existing law to stipulate that a long-term care facility will only be charged one fee, as outlined in section 172A, for any single individual seeking CORI, regardless of whether that individual has used multiple last names (such as a maiden and married name) or if the facility submits multiple requests for CORI under different last names for the same person. This change is intended to reduce the financial burden on these facilities, which are required to conduct these background checks for their staff.
