Under current law, most children's organizations only have access to the New York State database, and lack access to FBI databases. The Child Protection Improvements Act of 2009 would create a permanent, nationally-accessible background check solution for youth-serving organizations. Schumer was joined by Linda Ray, the Executive Director of the Family Justice Center, Buffalo Police Commissioner H. McCarthy Gipson, and representatives of various children's groups and not-for-profits. For further information on Chuck Schumer please visit: www.schumer.senate.gov</p>"}}
