AN ACT RELATING TO HUMAN SERVICES -- CERTIFICATION OF CHILDCARE AND YOUTH-SERVING WORKERS AND OPERATORS

Summary

The bill amends state law to require anyone seeking paid or volunteer positions that involve supervising or directly contacting children in daycare, family‑daycare, child‑placing agencies, foster homes, or organized youth activities to undergo a nationwide criminal records check with fingerprints. The check must be repeated every five years, and the cost shifts from the applicant to the state after July 1 2026. Employers who cannot prove the checks were ordered could lose their license.
