Establishes central registry for background checks of youth serving organization employees and volunteers.

This bill (A 2722) creates a state-run central registry to manage background checks for employees and volunteers working with youth. It directly affects youth-serving organizations (like sports leagues, clubs, and nonprofits for kids under 18, excluding schools) that must register with the registry and pay a fee to participate. Organizations must conduct annual background checks on all staff/volunteers using the registry, with checks required every two years for current members. The registry identifies individuals with certain criminal convictions (such as violent crimes, crimes against children, or drug offenses) that would disqualify them from working with youth, and updates records to reflect these disqualifications. The state sets the fee structure but caps background check costs at actual expenses.
