The Youth Workforce Development Programs Temporary Amendment Act of 2025 amends the Criminal Background Checks for the Protection of Children Act of 2004 and the Youth Employment Act of 1979. The bill expands the definition of a "covered child or youth services provider" to include employees or volunteers of host employers participating in summer youth programs administered by the Department of Employment Services. It specifies that these individuals, who have direct contact or unsupervised access to youth, are subject to background checks. Additionally, the Department of Employment Services is authorized to conduct criminal background checks and motor vehicle record checks for these employees and volunteers.

Key amendments include the insertion of language that clarifies the inclusion of host employer employees and volunteers in the definition of covered providers, as well as the authorization for the Department of Employment Services to perform necessary background checks. The bill also makes minor adjustments to existing language in the Youth Employment Act, such as changing "closing ceremony" to "activities" and repealing a paragraph. This act is temporary and will expire 225 days after its effective date, which follows approval by the Mayor and a congressional review period.
