AI Summary
This bill amends the laws regarding background checks for the Department of Youth Services. The bill requires that all current or prospective department employees, interns, volunteers, or subcontractors providing residential or support services with the potential for unsupervised contact with youths committed to the department's care undergo a comprehensive background check. This includes a fingerprint-based check of state and national criminal history databases, a criminal offender record information check, a check for supported findings of abuse or neglect, a sex offender registry information check, and a registry of motor vehicles information check where relevant. The bill also allows the department to charge a fee of up to $45 per person to offset the costs of the background check system, and may reimburse employees and applicants for all or part of the fee.
