Introduced
by
To require an applicant for a license or a renewal of a license to operate a foster care home or foster care group home in the State to undergo a criminal history background check, prohibit giving a license if the person has been convicted of certain sex or other crimes, and require them to notify the state within 72 hours if an adult residing in the home is arraigned for certain criminal offenses.
Referred to the Committee on Families and Human Services
Reported without amendment
With the recommendation that the bill pass.
Substitute offered
To replace the previous version of the bill with one that revises details but does not change the substance of the bill as previously described. Among other things, this would push back until 2009 the background check mandate as applied to residents age 18 or above. The check that would apply to these individuals is a less rigorous State Police ICHAT (internet criminal history access tool) check, while the bill requires an FBI records check for the home operators.
The substitute passed by voice vote
