ELIMINATION OF BACKGROUND CHECKS DUE TO BUDGET CUTS
We are deeply
concerned that as of April 1, the DPPC (Disabled Persons Protection
Commission), because of budget cuts, had to stop allowing employers to
tap into its database of complaints to do background checks on the
people they want to hire to work with the disabled. It has been
reported that the DPPC is applying for a federal grant to continue the
background checks, but until money comes from either a grant or another
source, people with disabilities could potentially be victims of more
abuse and neglect than in the past. We urge you to help the DPPC find
the money - $60,000 (sixty thousand) - to continue providing this
essential service.
