Background Checks for Child Welfare Placements

Summary

The bill mandates that county human services departments and licensed child placement agencies run fingerprint‑based state and federal criminal history checks on anyone operating, employed by, or living in foster care or kinship homes. It also bars private placement agencies from receiving FBI results and sets strict confidentiality rules for arrest records without a disposition. The aim is to improve safety for children placed out of home.
