| Description of Subjects/Issues |
Office of Behavioral Health (OBH) rule requires all agencies licensed or designated by OBH to complete a pre-employment background investigation which includes a child abuse registry (Trails) check. Section 19-1-307(2)(k), C.R.S. authorizes Trails checks for licensed child care operators for the purpose of screening an applicant for employment, but not Trails checks requested by other CDHS licensees. Because § 19-1-307(2), C.R.S., does not authorize the pre-employment Trails checks required in OBH rules 21.160.2 and 21.200.53, those rules are void under state law. This rule change removes the requirement that OBH-licensed and designated agencies must complete a Trails check when completing a pre-employment background investigation. |
