Fingerprint submissions may be retained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the state identification section, and the department of criminal justice information services for the purpose of assisting the department in its review of suitability for initial or continued licensure, certification, or approval. The department of criminal justice information services may disseminate the results of a state and national criminal history checks to the department of early education and care to determine the suitability of : (i) any current holder of or applicant for a family child care, small group and school age, large group and school age, and residential and placement license, or family child care assistant certificate; (ii) all current and prospective employees in any department licensed, funded or approved program, who have the potential for unsupervised contact with children; (iii) all household members, age 15 or older, or persons regularly on the premises, age 15 or older, of current family child care providers and applicants for family child care licensure; (iv) all in-home non-relative department funded caregivers; (v) all adoptive or foster parent applicants and their household members age 15 or older; and (vi) any individual who provides transportation services on behalf of any department licensed, funded or approved program. If the department receives information from a fingerprint-based check that does not include any final disposition or is otherwise incomplete, the department may request that an applicant, either new or renewing, provide additional information to assist the department in determining the suitability of the individual for licensure, certification, approval, funding or employment.
For the purposes of this section, a “conditional employee” is an individual who has the potential for unsupervised contact with children who a department licensed, funded or approved program or a provider of transportation services on behalf of any department licensed, funded or approved program, hires without first obtaining the results of a state and national fingerprint-based criminal history check because the employer determines that hiring the individual is necessary. A department licensed, funded or approved program, or a provider of transportation services on behalf of any department licensed, funded or approved program, may hire conditional employees under the following circumstances:
Until the Commonwealth has fully implemented a system for forwarding fingerprints to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for a national criminal history check and providing the results of those checks to the department, the department licensed, approved or funded program, or the provider of transportation services on behalf of any department licensed, funded or approved program, may hire individuals without first obtaining the results of a state and national fingerprint-based criminal background check if the employer has first obtained the results of a criminal offender record information check and department of children and families background record check, as required by the department, on the individual(s).
Once the Commonwealth has fully implemented a system for forwarding fingerprints to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for a national criminal history check and providing the results of those checks to the department:
(a)Programs or transportation providers shall require employees hired for September, 2013 or thereafter without the results of state and national fingerprint-based criminal history checks to submit fingerprints for state and national criminal history checks within a reasonable period of time; and;
(b)Programs or transportation providers may hire individuals without first obtaining the results of a state and national fingerprint-based criminal history check in limited circumstances. The board of early education and care shall in a manner provided by law and in accordance with chapter 15D of the general laws, promulgate regulations necessary to carry out this section. These regulations shall address the circumstances under which a program or transportation provider may hire a conditional employee.
Notwithstanding any laws to the contrary, if a program or transportation provider seeks to hire a conditional employee, the program or transportation provider may request that the individual provide additional information regarding his or her history of criminal convictions, if any, to assist the program or transportation provider in determining the individual’s suitability for unsupervised contact with children; provided however, that no unsupervised contact with children shall occur prior to the program or transportation provider obtaining the results of a sexual offender registry information check pursuant to sections 178i and 178j of chapter 6.
