  • The addition of new disqualifying crimes;
  • Clarification of disqualifying negative actions; and
  • The addition of the category of "Pending Crimes" that would disqualify a caregiver from having unsupervised access to a resident(s) pending the final outcome of a criminal matter on the Secretary's List.
