New Jersey Statutes Title 30. Institutions and Agencies 30 § 4C-27.24

In the case of a facility located outside the State serving children who are residents of the State, the administrator of the facility shall ensure that an applicant or staff member meets 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 mandated, the administrator of the facility shall require that the applicant or staff member make a voluntary disclosure of any criminal conviction.  The results of the disclosure shall be made available to the department, so the department can determine the suitability of the individual for employment at the facility during the time children who are residents of the State are placed in the facility.
