To amend the National Child Protection Act of 1993 to ensure that businesses and organizations that work with vulnerable populations are able to request background checks for their contractors who work with those populations, as well as for individuals that the businesses or organizations license or certify to provide care for those populations.
H.R. 3100 expands the National Child Protection Act of 1993 to allow businesses and organizations serving vulnerable populations—such as childcare facilities, schools, and senior care providers—to conduct background checks on a broader group of people. The bill extends background check authority to include contractors working for these organizations, as well as employees and volunteers of contractors, and individuals seeking licenses or certifications from these organizations to provide care. This change aims to strengthen safeguards by giving organizations more tools to vet people who have access to children and other vulnerable populations in their care. The bill was introduced in April 2025 and referred to the House Judiciary Committee, but does not specify funding amounts or implementation timelines in the available text.
