Overview
This bill establishes a central registry for background checks of employees and volunteers at youth-serving organizations in New Jersey. The registry, overseen by the Department of Law and Public Safety, would collect and disseminate information from criminal history record checks. Participating organizations would need to register and pay a fee, and employees and volunteers would be subject to periodic background checks to ensure they meet eligibility criteria. The bill updates the definition of ‘youth serving organization’ to include non-profit and for-profit entities.
