Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 2 mixed.

Remove staff with abuse findings or crimes

Intermediary service organizations must end a job or contract, or bar a temp worker, if state records show a listed serious crime or a substantiated child-abuse or neglect report, and the person would serve a child or a person with a disability. Before removal, if the worker says the records are wrong, the organization must allow at least 30 days for the person to fix the record. The organization must notify a temp agency when the temp worker is not allowed to provide services.

Care service agencies: stricter rules, shield

The Division can deny, suspend, or revoke a certificate to run an intermediary service organization if the applicant or holder has certain serious convictions, kept someone on staff with those convictions or a substantiated child-abuse report, or has a substantiated report themselves. Some crimes only count if they happened in the last 7 years. If an organization followed the required screening steps, it is not civilly or criminally liable just because it let someone work before getting registry results, allowed work during the correction period, or relied on records that were wrong.

Stricter checks for child-serving staff

The law requires more background and registry checks for people who work with children. License applicants must let the state check child-abuse registries in Nevada and any state they lived in during the last 5 years. Employers must get written permission from new employees, temps, and contractors within 10 days to check those registries and complete checks as soon as possible. If the person will give residential or certain psychiatric care to children, checks must be done before any unsupervised care. Checks must be repeated at least every 5 years. Intermediary service organizations must follow the same rules and may require fingerprints.
