3. a. The Division of Child Protection and Permanency in the Department of Children and Families shall conduct a search of its child abuse registry to determine if a report of child abuse or neglect has been filed, pursuant to section 3 of P.L.1971, c.437 (C.9:6-8.10), involving a person registering as a prospective provider or a household member of the prospective provider or as a current provider or household member of the current provider.

c. The division shall advise the sponsoring organization of the results of the child abuse registry search within a time period to be determined by the Department of Children and Families.
