The law says that "designated" volunteers should go through the criminal background process. What defines a "designated volunteer"?

There is no statutory definition of "designated volunteer." However, an amendment to RSA 189:13-a requires that SAUs, et al formulate criteria that best defines “designated volunteers” as applied to their SAU. New Hampshire State Police suggests, as a benchmark, that if a volunteer is left alone with a child, the volunteer should go through the complete background process.
