AN ACT AUTHORIZING THE DISCLOSURE OF AN OPEN INVESTIGATION OF ABUSE OR NEGLECT OR SEXUAL MISCONDUCT, INJURY OR RISK OF INJURY TO OR IMPAIRING THE MORALS OF A MINOR DURING THE HIRING PROCESS OF A SCHOOL EMPLOYEE.

Summary

The bill obligates any public or private school authority that hires staff who will interact directly with students to collect detailed employment information and a written statement about any open or substantiated abuse, neglect, or sexual‑misconduct investigations. It also sets a process for contacting former employers and the State Department of Education to confirm that history. The goal is to prevent individuals under investigation for harming minors from being placed in positions of trust.
