NEW PA VOLUNTEER CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS:
On October 22, 2014 Governor Corbett signed into law House Bill 435 amending Title 23 (Domestic Relations) Statute. On July 1, 2015 the legislation was revised. Along with other changes the most applicable revisions are:
Waiver of fee for volunteers for the Criminal Record Check and the Child Abuse History Clearance Check. The fee for the FBI background check remains in place, if required.
The background check renewal period has been increased from 3 to 5 years.
This new law defines new clearance requirements for adult volunteers having direct contact with children.
