  • Prohibits the DCYF from denying or delaying a foster care or child care license or approval for unsupervised access solely because of a founded finding of abuse or neglect or court finding that the individual's child is dependent based on abuse or neglect if that finding is accompanied by a CPI.
  • Prohibits nursing homes and assisted living facilities from automatically denying a prospective volunteer solely based on a founded finding of abuse or neglect or a dependency court finding when that finding is accompanied by a CPI.
