AI Summary

  • Creates the volunteer employee criminal history system program administered by the Michigan Department of State Police to authorize criminal history record checks on covered individuals (employees, volunteers, and owners/operators) at qualified entities providing care services to children, elderly individuals, or individuals with disabilities.

  • Requires qualified entities to register with the department and comply with state and federal law, including the National Child Protection Act of 1993; covered individuals must provide signed statements, fingerprints, and disclosure of prior convictions before background checks are conducted.

  • Allows qualified entities to participate in a "rap back program" that provides ongoing status notifications of criminal history changes for registered covered individuals, eliminating the need for repeated background checks.

  • Establishes that the Department of State Police shall store fingerprints in an automated fingerprint identification system database and forward submissions to the FBI's Next Generation Identification System; qualified entities receive criminal history results directly from the department.

  • Authorizes the department to charge fees not exceeding actual and reasonable costs plus FBI-prescribed amounts; provides liability protections for qualified entities failing to obtain background checks and for the state in providing criminal history information.
