Recently, State Regulations were amended to establish procedures for payment of required fees for certain Statewide Central Register screening requests. The regulations implemented Chapter 441 of the Laws of 1993, which requires the Department to establish procedures for payment of the SCR screening fee when it searches SCR records to determine whether applicants for employment with provider agencies are subjects of indicated reports of child abuse or maltreatment (See Attachment A). The regulation became effective on October 12, 1994. The Child Protective Services Program Manual will be updated to provide information concerning SCR screening procedures.
