Description
Criminal history and central registry check for placements of children. Establishes mandatory background checks for prospective foster or adoptive parents that consist of three parts: 1) a sworn statement or affirmation disclosing whether an individual has a criminal conviction or pending charges or has been the subject of a founded case of child abuse or neglect; 2) fingerprinting forwarded through the Central Criminal Records Exchange to the Federal Bureau of Investigation to obtain criminal history information; and 3) searches of the central child abuse and neglect registry maintained pursuant to 63.2-1515 and similar registries required by federal law in any other state where a prospective parent or other adult in the home has resided in the preceding five years. Provides that in the case of an emergency, a local board must first search the central registry and obtain a written affirmation from the individual prior to placement. Prohibits approval of foster or adoptive homes where an individual has record of an offense set forth in 63.2-1719 or a founded complaint of child abuse or neglect as maintained in registries pursuant to 63.2-1515 and the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act (42 U.S.C.S. 16901 et seq.). The bill has an effective date of April 1, 2007. Read the Bill »
