6344.2 - Information relating to other persons having contact with children.

     § 6344.2.  Information relating to other persons having contact
                with children.
        (a)  Applicability.--This section applies to prospective
     employees applying to engage in occupations with a significant
     likelihood of regular contact with children, in the form of
     care, guidance, supervision or training. Such persons include
     social service workers, hospital personnel, mental health
     professionals, members of the clergy, counselors, librarians and
     doctors.
        (b)  Investigation.--Employers, administrators or supervisors
     shall require an applicant to submit to all requirements set
     forth in section 6344(b) (relating to information relating to
     prospective child-care personnel). An employer, administrator,
     supervisor or other person responsible for employment decisions
     regarding an applicable prospective employee under this section
     that intentionally fails to require the submissions before
     hiring that individual commits a misdemeanor of the third
     degree.
        (c)  Grounds for denial.--Each applicant shall be subject to
     the requirements of section 6344(c).
        (d)  Departmental treatment of information.--Information
     provided and compiled under this section by the department shall
     be confidential and shall not be subject to the act of June 21,
     1957 (P.L.390, No.212), referred to as the Right-to-Know Law.
     This information shall not be released except as permitted by
     the department through regulation. The department may charge a
     fee to conduct a certification as required by section 6344(b)(2)
     in accordance with the provisions of section 6344(h). The
     department shall promulgate regulations necessary to carry out
     this subsection.
