New Jersey § 9:3-40

§ 9:3-40.

In the case of an adoption agency located outside the State, the administrator of

the agency shall ensure that all applicants or staff members meet all applicable laws

and regulations in that state governing criminal history record background and child

abuse record information checks that may be required as a condition of employment. In the event that criminal history record background and child abuse record information

checks are not required, the administrator of the agency shall require that the applicant

or staff member make a voluntary disclosure of any criminal conviction or substantiation

for child abuse or neglect. The results of the disclosure shall be made available to the department, so the

department can determine the suitability of the staff member or applicant for employment.
