Lets organizations check backgrounds for more people working with vulnerable populations
The CHILD Act of 2025 would let businesses and groups that work with vulnerable people get background checks for more individuals. This includes contractors and those they license or certify to provide care. This change aims to boost safety for children, the elderly, and people with disabilities.
Today, organizations working with vulnerable groups can mainly get background checks for their direct employees and volunteers. If this bill passes, these organizations would also be able to request background checks for their contractors, people working for their contractors, and individuals they license or certify. This would expand the safety measures to cover a wider range of people providing care.
