19 Del. Admin. Code §§ 1323-1.0

Current through Register Vol. 27, No. 12, June 1, 2024

Section 1323-1.0 - Introduction

1.1 The General Assembly enacted two laws, "Special Employment Practices Relating To Health Care And Child Care Facilities" (19 Del.C. § 708 and 11Del.C. § 8563) And "Adult Abuse Registry Check" (11 Del.C. § 8564) in order to provide a degree of protection for the "vulnerable" population in hospitals, nursing homes, child care facilities and other institutions. Together, the two laws require employers to obtain a reference check, or "service letter", and check two registries to insure that they are not hiring individuals with a past history of violent behavior in the workplace, or individuals who have engaged in abuse or neglect to adults or children in their care.
