Amend CSSB 6 in Article 1 of the bill by adding the following appropriately numbered SECTION and renumbering subsequent SECTIONS accordingly: SECTION 1.__. (a) Section 42.056, Human Resources Code, is amended by adding Subsections (a-1), (d), (e), and (f) and amending Subsection (b) to read as follows: (a-1) In accordance with rules adopted by the executive commissioner, the director, owner, or operator of a residential child-care facility shall submit to the department for use in conducting background and criminal history checks the name of each prospective employee who will provide direct care or have direct access to a child in the residential child-care facility. (b) The department shall conduct background and criminal history checks using: (1) the information provided under Subsections [Subsection] (a) and (a-1); (2) the information made available by the Department of Public Safety under Section 411.114, Government Code, and [or] by the Federal Bureau of Investigation or other criminal justice agency under Section 411.087, Government Code; and (3) the department's records of reported abuse and neglect. (d) A person described by Subsection (a) or (a-1) may not provide direct care or have direct access to a child in a residential child-care facility before completion of the person's background check and criminal history check. (e) The department shall provide the results of a background or criminal history check conducted under this section regarding a prospective employee to a director, owner, or operator of a residential child-care facility within 24 hours. If the residential child-care facility does not receive the results of the background or criminal history check within that time, the facility may obtain that information for the facility's employee, subcontractor, or volunteer directly from the Department of Public Safety. If the information obtained verifies that the person does not have a criminal record, the facility may allow the person to have unsupervised client contact until the department has performed the department's own criminal history check and notified the facility. (f) As part of a background check under this section, the department shall provide any relevant information available in the department's records regarding a person's previous employment in a residential child-care facility to the person submitting the request. (b) The director, owner, or operator of a residential child-care facility shall begin providing information to the Department of Family and Protective Services as required by Subsection (a-1), Section 42.056, Human Resources Code, as added by this section, as soon as possible after the effective date of this section and not later than January 1, 2006.
