Relates to the fingerprinting of prospective child day care employees and sharing fingerprint results

This bill allows the Department of Education to share criminal history records and fingerprints with the Office of Children and Family Services for prospective child day care employees and volunteers who have already been cleared by the state education commissioner. The legislation creates a direct line of communication where the Division of Criminal Justice Services can send future criminal history notifications straight to the Office of Children and Family Services once an individual is approved for employment. By establishing this information-sharing process, the bill aims to ensure that background check results are consistently available to those responsible for supervising child care settings.
