child protecting act 2005
Answers
The main child protection act is the federal National Child Protection Act of 1993, although many similar state acts have been enacted. The purpose of the National Child Protection Act of 1993 is to encourage states to improve the quality of their criminal history and child abuse records. The Act was passed in October 1993 and amended in the Crime Control Act of 1994. The Act:
1. Requires states to submit "child abuse crime information" to, or index such information in the national criminal history background system maintained by the FBI. Provides that a state’s reporting all felonies and serious misdemeanors to the FBI will satisfy this requirement of the Act. Mandates that the U.S. Attorney General establish timetables for each state’s criminal history records system to reach milestones for improvement and completeness.
2. Authorizes a state to establish procedures requiring organizations serving youth, the elderly and individuals with disabilities to request a nationwide criminal history background check on prospective employees and volunteers.
3. The majority of states have laws mandating some individuals working with children to undergo criminal history background checks. The Act expands this to the elderly and individuals with disabilities and encourages criminal history checks for a more uniform, but broader, cross-section of employees and volunteers. Provides access to the National Criminal History Records system maintained by the FBI in order to perform criminal history record checks. Access is limited to the states in which permissive legislation or regulations have been established.
