TITLE 29—LABOR
§ 3196
1 So in original. Probably should be preceded by ‘‘the’’.
(A) there is a reasonable expectation that
the individual considered for selection can
participate successfully in group situations
and activities, and is not likely to engage in
behavior that would prevent other enrollees
from receiving the benefit of the Job Corps
program or be incompatible with the main-
tenance of sound discipline and satisfactory
relationships between the Job Corps center
to which the individual might be assigned
and communities surrounding the Job Corps
center;
(B) the individual manifests a basic under-
standing of both the rules to which the indi-
vidual will be subject and of the con-
sequences of failure to observe the rules, and
agrees to comply with such rules; and
(C) the individual has passed a background
check conducted in accordance with proce-
dures established by the Secretary and with
applicable State and local laws.
(2) Individuals on probation, parole, or super-
vised release
An individual on probation, parole, or super-
vised release may be selected as an enrollee
only if release from the supervision of the pro-
bation or parole official involved is satisfac-
tory to the official and the Secretary and does
not violate applicable laws (including regula-
tions). No individual shall be denied a position
in the Job Corps solely on the basis of indi-
vidual contact with the criminal justice sys-
tem except for a disqualifying conviction as
specified in paragraph (3).
(3) Individuals convicted of certain crimes
An individual shall not be selected as an en-
rollee if the individual has been convicted of a
felony consisting of murder (as described in
section 1111 of title 18), child abuse, or a crime
involving rape or sexual
