Is the Employer responsible for an Employee's Level II Background Screening?

We are an independent ALF (isted Living Facility) and we have less than 5 employees in our payroll. Usually, when we need a physical we ask them to go get it themselves without any compensation and everyone seems to agree because it is part of their job responsibilities. Lately, we have been having a problem with one of our staffs due to a new law ped by government stating that every direct care employee needs to have a Level II clearance background screening. The employee's argument is that in all her 14 years as a Nurse, she has never been Fingerprinted for background screening nor has she been asked for a Level II clearance in the hospital that she is currently working in. Also, that if she was suppose to get a Background screening that the EMPLOYER has to pay for the Employee to get it. The question in mind, is that am I responsible for her Background screening? She currently resigned from her position but I just want to know if there is any legality between this situation. Thanks!
