BILL NUMBER: S33 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the social services law, in relation to criminal history review of child care providers PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL : To ensure that young children are not being cared for by felons with a history of serious crimes. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : Section 1 of this bill amends subparagraph (i) of paragraph (a) of subdivision 3 of section 390-b of the Social Services Law to expand the offenses for which a conviction would lead to denial of a license application or employment application to include any felony conviction at any time in another jurisdiction that would constitute a sex offense, crime against a child, or crime involving violence, or a conviction for a felony drug-related offense within the past five years that, if committed in New York, would constitute a violation of the Penal Law. Section 1 of this bill also amends the Social Services Law to remove the Office of Children and Family Services' discretion to approve a license application, renewal application, prospective employee or volunteer when the criminal background check reveals a conviction for any of the aforementioned crimes.
