2. Upon request of an agency which provides child welfare services that wishes to place a child in a home in an emergency situation, or upon request of the approved designee of the agency which provides child welfare services, a resident who is 18 years of age or older of the home in which the agency which provides child welfare services wishes to place the child, other than a participant in the Extended Young Adult Support Services Program established pursuant to NRS 432B.5919, must submit to the agency which provides child welfare services or its approved designee a complete set of fingerprints and written permission authorizing the agency which provides child welfare services or its approved designee to forward those fingerprints to the Central Repository for Nevada Records of Criminal History for submission to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for its report. The agency which provides child welfare services or its approved designee shall forward the fingerprints to the Central Repository for Nevada Records of Criminal History within the time set forth in federal law or regulation.
