SEC. 1094. PROVISIONAL SUPERVISED EMPLOYMENT OF FEDERAL CHILD CARE SERVICES PERSONNEL. (a) Employment Pending Completion of Background Check.—Section 231 of the Crime Control Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 13041) is amended— (1) in the second sentence of subsection (a)(1), by striking out “6 months after the date of enactment of this chapter, and no additional staff” and inserting in lieu thereof “May 29, 1991. Except as provided in subsection (b)(3), no additional staff”; and (2) in subsection (b), by adding at the end the following new paragraph: “(3) An agency or facility described in subsection (a)(1) may hire a staff person provisionally prior to the completion of a background check if, at all times prior to receipt of the background check during which children are in the care of the person, the person is within the sight and under the supervision of a staff person with respect to whom a background check has been completed.”. (b) Additional Safety Measures for Federal Child Care Service Facilities.—It is the sense of Congress that each agency of the Federal Government, each facility operated by the Federal Government, and each facility operated under contract with the Federal Government, that provides child care services to children under the age of 18— (1) modify child care facilities to the extent necessary to ensure that, except for restrooms, there are no secluded areas not open to the general view of persons in such facilities; (2) provide for regular oversight of the management and operations of child care facilities by an agency official who is not directly in charge of the operation of the facility; and (3) to the maximum extent feasible allow parental access to children in child care facilities at all times.
