The bill bars public county schools and private schools from employing anyone they know has been charged with certain felonies, including sexual abuse, violent crimes, drug distribution, and other serious offenses. It also requires contractors to keep such individuals off school premises and forces charged employees to notify the school within two business days, or face a five‑year rehire ban.
