Checking the Background of Persons Who Work or Volunteer with Children, Elderly and Disabled Persons

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Florida Law (s.943.0542, FLORIDA STATUTES) now provides organizations in Florida that have employees or volunteers who work with children, elderly or disabled persons with the ability to obtain state and national criminal history information to determine if these persons have arrests and/or convictions in Florida or in other states. By learning about the criminal history of the employee or volunteer, the organization can screen out those persons who have demonstrated that they are not suitable for contact with vulnerable individuals.

FDLE has prepared a brochure on this new law, which is available in electronic form on this web site.   The Qualified Entity Application form for placing a background check request is available online for printing.  We also have a Question and Answer brochure that anticipates many of the questions you might have concerning the law.  The law can be viewed on the Florida Legislature's Web Site.
