Hello,
The Bureau of Child Care has
learned two important new updates on the national criminal history check
process that impact registered ministries.
1. Registered Ministry staff and volunteers will be
able to receive a $15 discount on the cost of national criminal background
checks.
- The Indiana State Police is waiving their portion of the total cost for registered ministries.
- This discount will be accessed by entering your Registered Ministry facility number into the appropriate space on the L-1 enrollment screen.
- This discount is not yet available but is coming soon.
2. Registered Ministries should wait until after this functionality
is added to the L-1 system so that you can receive the discounted rate.
It is anticipated that the discount will be available the week of July 12.
- Remember that the law allows for time to get all of your national criminal background checks completed so waiting until the discount is available will not result in a noncompliance with the new criminal background check law.
3. If your registered ministry receives CCDF funding, the
requirement to meet the new CCDF eligibility standards under SEA305 will not be
impacted by your waiting for the discount to complete the national background
checks. These new standards are still effective July 1, 2013.
If you have questions about an
appointment for the national criminal history checks that you have already
scheduled, please contact L-1 at 1-877-472-6917.

Thank you.
