Summary
H.R. 3100 would amend the National Child Protection Act of 1993 to allow businesses and organizations that serve vulnerable populations to request background checks for their contractors who work with those populations. The bill would also enable these organizations to conduct background checks on individuals they license or certify to provide care for vulnerable populations.
If enacted, this legislation could make it easier for organizations such as schools, daycare centers, youth programs, and other entities serving children and vulnerable groups to vet the people working with or providing services to their clients. The bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process, having been introduced in the House and referred to committee for consideration.
