I don't believe the rules have been loosened for background checks --- outside of non-traditional staff. OPRA can certainly correct me, but DODD stated waiver providers who choose to utilize non-traditional staff in direct support positions must initiate appropriate background checks, driver’s abstract (if driving), and the required registry checks, but may place the staff person on the schedule immediately. RAPBACK is not required unless the staff person maintains a direct support position after June 1, 2020.

Webcheck Community Listing - Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost

The Ohio Attorney General’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation regularly processes about 1 million background checks annually. Through WebCheck, agencies transmit fingerprints and other data electronically to BCI, to be compared against a database of criminal fingerprints to determine if an individual has a criminal record.

Hello,

How are you getting BCI/FBI checks done since the sheriffs office are not doing them right now and the bmv is closed. Is there anywhere else that is doing this or has there been changes to the rules for this?

Thank you,
