SF427

The legislative bill SF No. 427 introduced in the Senate by authors Eichorn and Bahr mandates that any organization receiving funding from the Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund, and provides services to children, must conduct criminal background checks on all its employees, contractors, and volunteers who have or might have access to children. This is to ensure the safety of the children these entities serve. The organizations must certify that they comply with this requirement as part of their work plan submissions.
