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. This change ensures that individuals with direct contact or unsupervised access to youth in these programs are subject to background checks.

Additionally, the bill authorizes the Department of Employment Services to conduct criminal background checks and motor vehicle record checks for these employees and volunteers. It modifies existing legal language by deleting certain provisions and inserting new ones to clarify the responsibilities and requirements for background checks in relation to youth employment programs. The act is temporary, set to expire 225 days after its enactment, and will take effect following approval by the Mayor and a congressional review period.
