BILL NUMBER:S1977 REVISED MEMO 05/02/201

Title of bill

An act to amend the social services law, in relation to the access of certain information contained in the central register of child abuse and maltreatment

Purpose

Is to allow a camp who is considering a person for employment shall upon receipt have access to reports from the child abuse and maltreatment reports on file with statewide central register of child abuse and maltreatment.

Summary of provisions

Adds a new subparagraph (iv) is to read as follows:

(iv) A camp subject to the provisions of article thirteen-A or thirteen-B of the public health law may inquire of the office of children and family services, and the office shall, upon receipt of such inquiry and subject to the provisions of paragraph (e) of this subdivision, inform such agency and the subject of the inquiry whether any person who is actively being considered for employment and who will have the potential for regular and substantial contact with children who are cared for by the agency, is the subject of an indicated child abuse and maltreatment report on file with the statewide central register of child abuse and maltreatment.

Justification

Due to the closeness in which camp employees work with children of all ages, it is imperative that the camp have access to all reports on potential employees. Giving the camp the ability to get a report from the statewide central register of child abuse and maltreatment is one step they can take in protecting kids.
