Whereas, the population of York County has grown over twenty-five percent during the past ten years to a current total of one hundred sixty-four thousand six hundred fourteen and is expected to grow by another seventeen percent by the year 2015; and

Whereas, York County's total estimated assessed property valuation for 2000 exceeds $690,890,136; and

Whereas, a total of sixty-four companies, some nationally known, announced plans to locate or expand in York County in 2001, providing a capital investment of over $652,715,141; and

Whereas, York County, among other priorities recognizes the importance of transportation planning as it relates to economic development and quality of life concerns, as has been demonstrated by the adoption of a one cent sales tax that will generate ninety-nine million dollars for road improvements, the county's successful Infrastructure Bank board application that resulted in one hundred thirty million dollars for a critical regional connector, the business community's support of the Southern Metro Area Regional Transportation initiative, and a growing recognition of the importance of a regional mass transit system. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, recognizes York County for its many accomplishments over the past decade and declares March 20, 2002, "York County Day" in South Carolina.

However, pending the results of the criminal history check, a person temporarily may be employed or contract as a direct caregiver with a direct care entity.

The results of the criminal history check are valid and are not required to be repeated as long as the person remains employed by or continues to contract with a direct care entity; however, if a person is not employed by or is not under contract for one year or longer with a direct care entity, the criminal history check must be repeated before resuming employment or contracting with a direct care entity.

Section 44-7-2930.   A direct care entity shall furnish copies of personnel records of current or former direct caregivers to another direct care entity requesting this information. Information contained in the records may include, but is not limited to, disciplinary matters and any reasons for termination. A direct care entity releasing these records pursuant to this section is presumed to be acting in good faith and is immune from civil and criminal liability which otherwise may result by reason of releasing this information."
SECTION   2.   Notwithstanding Article 23, Chapter 7, Title 44 of the 1976 Code, as added by Section 1 of this act, a person who is employed by or under contract with a direct care entity, as defined in Section 44-7-2910 of the 1976 Code, as added by Section 1 of this act, on July 1, 2002, as a direct caregiver, as defined in Section 44-7-2910, is not required to undergo a state criminal history check.
