SCS SB 878 -- Criminal Background Checks Sponsor: Champion This substitute changes the laws regarding criminal background checks when there has been an emergency placement of a child in a private home. Currently, background checks must be completed within 15 business days after the placement, except for family members within the second degree of consanguinity to the child. The substitute requires a background check within 15 calendar days and removes the family member exception.Copyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
