All persons affiliated with a member program shall submit to an Act 34 criminal record and an Act 151 child abuse history checks. The costs associated with completing the checks will be born by member program. The criminal record check will be completed by submitting form SP4-164 to the Pennsylvania State Police. The child abuse history check will be completed by submitting form CY 113 to the Pennsylvania Department of Welfare. Any individual added to the staff of a member program must submit to the above tests before being allowed to participate, whether during an existing season or any new season hereafter.

The results of the checks will be maintained by the member program. Each member program will submit a Certificate of Compliance to the Commissioner when all checks are completed listing all eligible individuals.

It will be the responsibility of the member team to terminate an existing staff member or deny a position to an applicant based on the results of the tests. It is suggested that no individual be accepted to a program who has been convicted of a felony, a crime against a child, violent crime, domestic violence, or alcohol/drug offense.

As long as the person checked remains on the staff of the same member team, a new series of checks need not be completed unless the member team has reason to believe there has been a change of circumstances. All individuals checked have an affirmative duty to report any change in circumstance to his/her member team.
