101 CMR, § 15.02
Current through Register 1538, January 3, 2025
It is the policy of EOHHS that an individual's background, including any Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) and other relevant information, be carefully considered so that the vulnerable populations served by EOHHS and its agencies are protected. It is also the policy of EOHHS that qualified rehabilitated offenders are given a fair opportunity to be employed and reintegrate successfully into the workforce. Further, a criminal background check should only occur, and its results considered, in those instances where a current or prospective employee shall have been deemed otherwise qualified and the content of a criminal record is relevant to the duties and qualifications of the position.
