General Information
| Action Summary |
The purpose of the proposed action is to promulgate a new regulation. The new regulation establishes background checks for child welfare agencies. It replaces 22 VAC 40-190-10 et seq. and is needed to reflect changes to the Code of Virginia (Code) from 1995 to the present. The new regulation will include: (1) language to support the waiver of criminal convictions; (2) sections to help the lay reader better understand the background checks process; (3) clarifications and content changes that reflect current practices and are responsive to questions from the public and local agencies; and (4) stylistic changes to eliminate redundancy and make the regulation more understandable. The goals of the new regulation are to comply with the Code, make it easier for the public to understand the content, and provide clarification in order to improve compliance |
