Bill > S1091

This bill aims to enhance hiring practices at schools to prevent sexual abuse. It requires schools and independent contractors to conduct thorough background checks on applicants who would have direct contact with children, including verifying their employment history and checking for any past allegations or incidents of abuse or sexual misconduct. The bill also provides immunity for employers who provide information about a former employee's job performance and conduct, and imposes penalties for employers who fail to disclose required information. Additionally, the bill amends existing law to require reporting of suspected past abuse by individuals who currently pose a threat to children.
