Organizations that work with children and other vulnerable people would be allowed to request background checks on contractors and caregivers they hire or certify, helping them screen out individuals with criminal histories before they have direct contact with these populations. The change would make it easier for schools, daycare centers, hospitals, and similar institutions to access criminal background information as part of their hiring and licensing decisions. This affects businesses and nonprofits that employ or certify people to care for children, elderly people, and others who need protection.
