In the case of an adoption agency located outside the State, the administrator of the agency shall ensure that all applicants or staff members meet all applicable laws and regulations in that state governing criminal history record background and child abuse record information checks that may be required as a condition of employment. In the event that criminal history record background and child abuse record information checks are not required, the administrator of the agency shall require that the applicant or staff member make a voluntary disclosure of any criminal conviction or substantiation for child abuse or neglect. The results of the disclosure shall be made available to the department, so the department can determine the suitability of the staff member or applicant for employment.
