Stricter clearances needed...
by News Department on 06/09/15On October 22, 2014, House Bill 435 was signed into law becoming Act 153 of 2014, requiring more vigorous background checks as part of a package of legislation passed in response to the Jerry Sandusky and cleric child abuse scandals.
So according to Michelle Halabura, director of community relations at Schuylkill United Way, beginning July 1, people from Schuylkill County who work and volunteer for youth service organizations will have to comply with Pennsylvania Act 153 of 2014.
In an effort to address questions in Schuylkill County about Act 153 before everyone is expected to be in compliance by July 1, Schuylkill United Way and the office of Sen. David Argall, R-29, have set up a free training session on June 24.
To register for the event contact the Schuylkill United Way at 570-622-6421.
