Establishes central registry for background checks of youth serving organization employees and volunteers.

This bill would create a central registry managed by New Jersey's Department of Law and Public Safety to handle background checks for employees and volunteers at youth-serving organizations (like sports teams, clubs, and nonprofits serving children under 18). Nonprofits must register with the state, pay a fee, and conduct criminal history checks every two years for all staff and volunteers. Checks would flag specific disqualifying crimes, including violence against children, certain drug offenses, and other serious crimes listed in the bill. Organizations could then check the registry to verify if someone is eligible to work with youth.
