SUMMARY

This amendment requires a caregiver who will have as a qualifying patient a person who is enrolled in a primary or secondary school to submit to the criminal history record check conducted by the Department of Education. Unlike the criminal history record check conducted by the Department of Administrative and Financial Services as required by Committee Amendment "A," the check conducted by the Department of Education includes fingerprinting. If a caregiver completes the Department of Education criminal history record check, that caregiver is not required to also complete the criminal history record check required by the Department of Administrative and Financial Services.
