The main purpose of this legislation, known as the Comprehensive Health and Integrity in Licensing and Documentation Act of 2025 or the CHILD Act of 2025, is to enhance the safety of vulnerable populations, particularly children, by allowing businesses and organizations to conduct background checks on individuals who work with these groups. This includes contractors and those who are licensed or certified to provide care. Key provisions of the Act include the expansion of who can be subjected to background checks under the National Child Protection Act of 1993.
