2002 House Bill 6202 ↩

House Roll Call 996: Passed

To prohibit a child day care center, nursery school, or children’s camp worker or volunteer who has been convicted of child abuse or neglect, or a violent felony, from having contact with children in the facility. The bill would require staff members and volunteers to provide documentation from the Family Independence Agency showing that they have not been placed on the central child abuse or neglect registry. A volunteer parent who has been convicted of the above offenses could be permitted to have contact with a child if the organization has a written plan to supervise such parents. Parents of children in the facility would be exempt from the documentation requirements. The bill is part of a legislative package comprised of House Bills 6202 to 6205.
