Recent Amendments to the Child Protection Clearance Requirements. Smith, K. E. & Ferber, S. M July, 2015. abstract bibtex On July 1, 2015 Governor Wolf signed into law legislation amending Pennsylvania’s Child Protection law in ways that will affect the decision as to who at the University will need to complete the child protection clearances. It is important to note that while these changes provide relief for the University and other institutions of higher education, they do not eliminate the University’s requirement to have clearances completed on employees who have direct contact with minors. During the next several weeks, working with the University leadership and the Office of General Counsel, the Office of Human Resources will be providing additional clarification and direction. During this reevaluation period, we want to highlight two significant changes to the law: (1) Employees that have direct contact with minors who are “matriculated students” (students enrolled in an institution of higher education) that are under 18 years of age ARE NOT required to complete the clearance process. (2) Employees that have direct contact with prospective students visiting a campus operated by the institution of higher education ARE NOT required to complete the clearance process. In the 3D memo that was distributed last week it was also announced, that effective immediately we are suspending, until further notice the requirement that “ALL” newly hired employees must obtain child clearances. However, if a new employee will have direct contact with minors, and these minors are not matriculated students or prospective students visiting one of our campuses, they must still obtain those clearances as a condition of employment. If applicable, this requirement then must be reflected appropriately in their offer letter.
