Requires criminal history record background checks on certain volunteer sports personnel.

This bill requires background checks for volunteers who coach, manage, or officiate youth sports teams (with members under 16) in New Jersey. Sports teams must request free background checks through the Department of Community Affairs, using the volunteer's fingerprints and written consent, to screen for criminal history related to violence, sexual offenses, or child abuse. If a check reveals such history, the team must review the offense and give the volunteer a chance to explain or provide evidence of rehabilitation before making a decision. The Department of Community Affairs acts as a central clearinghouse to collect and share these results with sports teams.
