Beginning July 1, 2016, all volunteers will be required to obtain clearances every 60  months. Timelines for renewed clearances are based upon the date of the oldest clearance.

Volunteers are required to obtain updated clearances as follows:

• Within 60 months of the date of the most recent clearance;
• By July 1, 2016, if the clearance is older than 60 months; or
• By July 1, 2016, if they were approved as a volunteer before July 1, 2015, and had not received a clearance because they previously were not required to obtain clearances.
