Florida Statute 943.04351 "Search of registration information regarding sexual predators and sexual offenders is required before appointment or employment.
A state agency or governmental subdivision, before making any decision to appoint or employ a person to work, whether for compensation or as a volunteer, at any park, playground, day care center, or other place where children regularly congregate, must conduct a search of that person’s name or other identifying information against the registration information regarding sexual predators and sexual offenders through the Dru Sjodin National Sexual Offender Public Website maintained by the United States Department of Justice.
If for any reason that site is not available, a search of the registration information regarding sexual predators and sexual offenders maintained by the Department of Law Enforcement under s.943.043 shall be performed.
This section does not apply to those positions or appointments within a state agency or governmental subdivision for which a state and national criminal history background check is conducted."
