Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, certain facilities that provide care for children or adults, such as foster homes, group homes, day care centers and hospitals (entities), must conduct background investigations of all newly hired employes who are expected to have access to their clients. Also, under current law, effective on October 1, 1999, an entity must conduct background investigations of all current employes who have access to the entity's clients. This bill extends the effective date of the background investigation requirement with respect to current employes of an entity to February 1, 2000.

The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
