WAC 357-19-187. For purposes of WAC 357-19-183 , must an employee and/or individual being considered for a covered position authorize the secretary of the DCYF or designee to conduct a background check and what happens if the employee or individual being considered for a covered position does not provide authorization?

An employee and/or individual applying for or being considered to remain in a covered position must authorize the secretary of the DCYF or designee to conduct a background check. Failure to authorize the secretary of the DCYF or designee to conduct a background check disqualifies an employee or individual from consideration for any covered position including their current covered position.
