Attorney Maloney, I think it is wonderful that you have spoken out and I wish there were more. Angryparent had a great point about many of our legislative bills that are passed are "quick" and "without Expert weigh-in". I have heard these comments before when crafting legislation concerning Sex Offenders and find the police or educators are often not privy to weighing in which is short sighted.

I never liked the $5 State BCI License check and have pushed for the $35 BCI Federal fingerprint check. The issue that is bothersome is that the State was a 1 time check for the fee over the time your child went to school while you volunteered. Here, they are stating it must be yearly. Because this check is tied in to the USA database and your fingerprint doesn't change, why are we having to do this yearly? Obviously money! It is a shame to extort money yearly vs. 1 time fee. Understandably your license could change yearly, however they only required a State check $5 and you could have a record in every other state but it wouldn't have been caught under this type of check.

I have researched a bit on this and other states use a CORI/SORI volunteer check is the common check in other states and lasts for 2 yrs. I need to write to legislators that implemented and inquire to comparisons and other questions, but the problem with this is they RARELY ever respond. I can't imagine they get that many constituent letters.
