    14.02 — BRCs on all potential employees

    BRCs on all potential employees EEC’s BRC regulations are designed to ensure the completion of BRCs on individuals subject to EEC’s oversight, including those in receipt of federal Child Care Development Fund (CCDF) funding pursuant to the Child Care Development Block Grant (CCDBG) Act of 2014 at 42 USC § 9858 and funding through the Families First Prevention Services Act of 2017 at 42 USC § 471(a)(20)(D). Further, BRCs shall be performed in accordance with the statutory framework of M.G.L. c. 15D, §§ 7 and 8, 606 CMR 14.00 and consistent with the timelines established by EEC regulations or policy. EEC is responsible for reviewing all disqualifying information for candidates, with the exception of candidates for adoptive and foster parents to the extent authorized by the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and state statute. EEC may delegate to another Commonwealth entity its authority to complete BRCs through a Memorandum of Understanding or other applicable agreement to the extent permitted by state and federal law. While effective immediately, EEC will implement the provisions of 606 CMR 14.00 in phases and provide updated timetables for implementation within its written policies. Nothing in 606 CMR 14.00 shall be construed to create a private right of action if an EEC licensed, approved or funded program has acted in accordance with 606 CMR 14.00 and any policies adopted thereunder.
