CRIMINAL HISTORY CHECK FOR AGENCY APPROVED PROVIDERS OF SERVICES TO ADULTS (§
63.2-1601.1)

A. Each local board shall obtain, in accordance with regulations adopted by the
Board, criminal history record information from the Central Criminal Records
Exchange of any individual the local board is considering approving as a
provider of home-based services pursuant to &#xA7; 63.2-1600 or adult foster
care pursuant to &#xA7; 63.2-1601. The local board may also obtain such a
criminal records search on all adult household members residing in the home of
the individual with whom the adult is to be placed. The local board shall not
hire for compensated employment any persons who have been convicted of any
offense set forth in clause (i) of the definition of barrier crime in &#xA7;
19.2-392.02. If approval as an agency approved provider is denied because of
information obtained through a Central Criminal Records Exchange search, the
local board, upon request, shall provide a copy of the information obtained to
the individual who is the subject of the search. Further dissemination of the
criminal history record information is prohibited.

B. In emergency circumstances, each local board may obtain from a criminal
justice agency the criminal history record information from the Central Criminal
Records Exchange for the criminal records search authorized by this section. The
provision of home-based services shall be immediately terminated or the adult
shall be removed from the home immediately, if any adult resident has been
convicted of any offense set forth in clause (i) of the definition of barrier
crime in &#xA7; 19.2-392.02.
