requiring criminal history record checks for the renewal of teaching licenses.

Summary

The bill requires anyone holding a state teaching credential – including teachers, administrators, paraprofessionals, nurses and other school specialists – to submit a criminal‑history release form every three years when they renew. The check must be done at least 60 days before the credential expires and will also include any abuse or neglect findings from state and other states’ registries. The goal is to ensure schools have up‑to‑date safety information on all credentialed staff.
