S 330 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires motor vehicle history checks and adds certain disqualifying offenses for community agency employees.

This New Jersey bill (S 330) requires community agencies and care residences receiving state services to conduct background checks on employees and residents. It mandates criminal history and motor vehicle record checks every two years, disqualifying individuals with recent convictions for violent crimes, family offenses, drug-related crimes, or serious traffic violations (like DUI in the past 10 years). Agencies must verify these checks before hiring or housing individuals, and refusal to cooperate results in disqualification. The law applies directly to state-contracted community service providers and care facilities.
