19-24.1-04.1. Designated caregivers - Criminal history record check exemption

The department may waive the requirement for a registered designated caregiver to obtain

a criminal history record check under section 12-60-24 if the registered designated caregiver is

solely assisting a registered qualifying patient whose debilitating medical condition is a terminal

illness or if the registered designated caregiver is solely assisting a registered qualifying patient

who is admitted into the hospice program. A registered designated caregiver seeking a waiver

under this section shall provide the department with a written statement attesting the caregiver

has not been convicted of a drug-related misdemeanor offense within the five years preceding

the date of application or a felony offense. If a waiver is issued under this section, the registered

designated caregiver's registry identification card is valid for a period not to exceed six months.
