AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 16 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE BACKGROUND CHECK CENTER.

Summary

The law changes the Background Check Center rules so a criminal history report is valid for only one year, instead of three, for anyone seeking work in long‑term care facilities or home‑care agencies. It also removes the requirement that current employees get a new background check when they apply for a promotion. The Department of Health and Social Services must still set regulations on suitability criteria and how records are updated, but it no longer sets how often fingerprints must be taken.
