Revises provisions relating to the protection of children. (BDR 40-1099)

AB 521 requires certain medical facilities and intermediary service organizations in Nevada to obtain written authorization from employees and applicants to check the Statewide Central Registry for confirmed child abuse or neglect reports within the past five years. If a substantiated report exists, the facility must terminate the individual's employment. Organizations that fail to terminate such employees or continue employing them after a substantiated report may lose their operating certificate. This bill directly affects healthcare facilities, residential care providers, and their staff who interact with children.
