What steps regarding CORI inquiries must challenge course owners take to be licensed by the Department?
Pursuant to 520 CMR 5.14, owners seeking a license to operate challenge courses in the Commonwealth will now be subject to a Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) background check. In addition, owners will also be required to conduct CORI inquiries on employees who are 18 years of age or older. First, the owner must submit a “CORI Request Form” to the Department of Public Safety. Owners may obtain a “CORI Request Form” on-line at www.mass.gov/dps. Once the owner submits the CORI Request Form to the Department, Department personnel who have been authorized by the Criminal History Systems Board (“CHSB”) to perform CORI checks will submit the form to the CHSB. The CHSB’s authorized personnel will process the CORI and notify the Department of the challenge course owner’s suitability. By signing the Request Form, the owner authorizes the Department to perform the background check.
