Revises provisions relating to background checks. (BDR 38-646)
AB 357 requires Nevada's Division of Child and Family Services and the Central Repository for Criminal History to release background check information to public employers (like schools, government agencies, or nonprofits) within 72 hours via secure email. It mandates electronic transmission instead of paper, speeds up access for employers verifying staff/volunteers, and adds a rule deleting unsubstantiated child abuse reports from the registry after 10 years past the child's 18th birthday. The bill also specifies that child abuse records can only be shared with child welfare agencies unless the case was substantiated. These changes apply to all public employers conducting background checks under existing Nevada law.
