     245C.07 Study subject affiliated with multiple 
  facilities. 

    (a) When a license holder owns multiple facilities that are 
 licensed by the Department of Human Services, only one 
 background study is required for an individual who provides 
 direct contact services in one or more of the licensed 
 facilities if: 

    (1) the license holder designates one individual with one 
 address and telephone number as the person to receive sensitive 
 background study information for the multiple licensed programs 
 that depend on the same background study; and 

    (2) the individual designated to receive the sensitive 
 background study information is capable of determining, upon 
 request of the department, whether a background study subject is 
 providing direct contact services in one or more of the license 
 holder's programs and, if so, at which location or locations. 

    (b) When a background study is being initiated by a 
 licensed facility or a foster care provider that is also 
 registered under chapter 144D, a study subject affiliated with 
 multiple licensed facilities may attach to the background study 
 form a cover letter indicating the additional facilities' names, 
 addresses, and background study identification numbers. 

    When the commissioner receives a notice, the commissioner 
 shall notify each facility identified by the background study 
 subject of the study results. 

    The background study notice the commissioner sends to the 
 subsequent agencies shall satisfy those facilities' 
 responsibilities for initiating a background study on that 
 individual.
