Requires volunteers, employees, and organizers of certain youth and sports organizations to receive criminal history record background checks.

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill expands requirements for criminal background checks for people working with youth. It changes the definition of "youth serving organization" to include for-profit entities and makes background checks mandatory, not optional, for employees, volunteers, and organizers. The bill also requires these checks to be done at least once a year and establishes penalties for organizations that don't comply, including fines and potential criminal charges for individuals who knowingly violate the rules.
