The Background Check Adjustments Amendment Act of 2025 aims to amend the Criminal Background Checks for the Protection of Children Act of 2004 by allowing authorized covered youth services providers to conduct background checks for their employees and volunteers. This change is intended to streamline the process of cross-jurisdictional background checks. The bill includes specific amendments, such as changing the phrase "Mayor of the" to "Mayor or the" in Section 205(c)(3) and adding a new section (206b) that permits private entities to perform background checks, provided they submit the obtained records to the Mayor for appropriate use.

Additionally, the bill modifies Section 208 by revising the lead-in language to clarify that background check records can be received by either the Mayor or a private entity authorized as a covered child or youth services provider. It also expands the requirements for consent to include checks required by other jurisdictions. The act will take effect after being approved by the Mayor and undergoing a 30-day congressional review period.
