Alabama Act 2000-775 provides for criminal background checks for licensees, license applicants, volunteers, volunteer applicants, and prospective and current employees of licensed or approved child and adult care facilities and for foster homes and adoptive homes approved by child placing agencies or the Department of Human Resources. The Act requires the Department of Human Resources to request criminal history background information on all license applicants, current licensees, applicants for employment, volunteers, and certain current employees and to issue suitability determinations based upon the presence of certain convictions. Individuals receiving a determination of unsuitability shall not be, or continue to be, licensed, approved, or employed, or work as a volunteer in the areas covered by the Act.
