Schumer launched a campaign to pass his bipartisan legislation that wolud close the gaping hole in the federal law that prevents summer camps and other not-for-profit organizations that work with children from gaining access to federal sex offender background checks on new employees and volunteers. Under current law, many children's summer camps, day cares, charity organizations, and more only have access to New York State's criminal database. Because this is the only resource most local groups have access to, they often lack records of criminal activity committed out of state. Schumer is urging his colleagues in Congress to pass bi-partisan legislation, <em>Child Protection Improvements and Electronic Life and Safety Security Systems Act of 2015</em>, which would grant youth-serving organizations acess to FBI background checks for volunteers and new employees.</p>"}}
