Summary

Mental health and substance abuse providers; background checks. Allows private providers licensed by the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services to hire as a direct care employee in adult substance abuse or mental health treatment programs a person who has been convicted of a misdemeanor violation relating to assault and battery against a family or household member as long as such offense was substantially related to substance abuse or mental illness and the applicant has been rehabilitated. Alternatively, the bill authorizes private providers to hire as a direct care employee persons who have been convicted of not more than one misdemeanor violation relating to assault and battery against a family or household member if 10 years have elapsed since the conviction, unless the person committed the offense while employed in a direct consumer care position. The bill also makes a technical change that clarifies the existing law that (i) community service boards and private providers may hire as a direct care employee persons who have been convicted of not more than one misdemeanor violation relating to assault and battery and (ii) community service boards may hire as a direct care employee persons who have been convicted of not more than one misdemeanor violation relating to assault and battery of a family or household member, provided, however, that in the case of any conviction referenced in clause (i) or (ii), 10 years have elapsed since the conviction, and the person did no commit the offense while employed in a direct consumer care position.
