Representative DelGrosso, prime sponsor, presented House Bill 12-1228. Under current law, neighborhood youth organizations (NYOs) seeking licensure from the Department of Human Services (DHS) are required to conduct a fingerprint-based criminal history records check (background check) on all employees and volunteers through both the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Instead, this bill allows NYOs to instead conduct one of the following on their employees and volunteers that work with youth:

a CBI background check;
a FBI background check if the person has lived in Colorado less than two years;
a comparison search using the ICON system, the state's judicial records system; or
a background check by a private entity.

Persons found to have been convicted on felony child abuse or a felony offense involving unlawful sexual behavior cannot be hired by a NYO.

Tina Martinez and Brad Schipper, representing the Boys and Girls Clubs, testified in support of the bill and distributed an overview of background check procedure for the club (Attachment A). They responded to queestions from the committee regarding what organizations would be covered under the bill.
