SB 71 affects psychiatric hospitals, psychiatric residential treatment facilities in Nevada Effective immediately, all state-licensed psychiatric hospitals that provide inpatient services to children must conduct background checks on employees, employees of temporary employment service agencies working at the facility, and independent contractors, in accordance with Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) and Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) 449. Previously, only psychiatric hospitals that provided residential services to children had to conduct these background checks, but this requirement has been expanded to include inpatient services to children with the passage of Senate Bill 71 during the 2017 session of the Nevada Legislature. Psychiatric residential treatment facilities (PRTF) were also added as a facility type that must conduct background checks in accordance with NRS and NAC Chapter 449.
All facilities impacted by this memo must use the Nevada Automated Background Check System (NABS) to conduct the background checks. Instructions for Getting Set Up to Conduct Background Checks in Accordance with NRS Chapter 449

Thank you for mentioning that, beginning immediately, background checks on workers and employees of temporary employment service firms operating at the institution are required for all state-licensed mental hospitals that offer inpatient care to children. My friend wants to arrange for someone to stay with her father at home while she is at work. I'll advise her to acquire a private in-home carer.
