Bill > H1538

This bill aims to prevent sexual misconduct and abuse of children and youth by individuals in positions of authority, such as educators, administrators, and other staff at public and private schools, as well as certain state departments and private institutions. It creates a civil cause of action and criminal penalties for individuals in these positions who engage in sexual relations with certain students or clients under their care, even if the student or client is above the age of consent. The bill also requires the revocation of teaching certificates or professional licenses for licensed professionals who are convicted under this law.
