## Summary

**Would expand who must undergo child-protection background checks** to include contractors, volunteers, job-seekers, and people seeking licenses or certifications tied to qualified entities. The change rewrites categories in Section 5(9)(B) of the National Child Protection Act and would not specify new funding or programs in this section. - Families and children: More adults connected to organizations that work with kids would fall under background-check standards, aiming to increase screening of people who interact with children. - Workers and volunteers: Contractors, paid staff, volunteers, and applicants for those roles would be added to the pool of people covered by background-check rules. - Licensees and certseekers plus organizations: People seeking licensure or certification from a qualified entity would be included, and entities that contract with qualified entities would see their employees and volunteers drawn into the checks.
