(a) The following chart lists the types of findings from the Central Registry and out-of-state child abuse and neglect registries that may affect a subject's ability to be present at an operation. The chart specifies whether a subject with a finding is barred from being present at an operation or is eligible for a risk evaluation, and whether a subject eligible for a risk evaluation may be present at an operation pending the outcome of the risk evaluation: Attached Graphic(b) A subject who requires a background check under this subchapter in relation to a current or prospective foster or adoptive home is eligible for a risk evaluation for a sustained finding of physical abuse, if: (1) It has been more than five years since the date of the physical abuse finding; and (2) The prospective foster or adoptive parent is related to or has a significant longstanding relationship with the foster or adoptive child. (c) This rule does not apply to a person who requires a background check under this subchapter because of the person's responsibilities as a DFPS or Licensing employee or volunteer. The person will have a background check conducted by DFPS or HHSC as part of the person's application to become an employee or volunteer.
