Bill > SB0312

This bill modifies existing Utah law regarding educator licenses, specifically focusing on disciplinary actions and restrictions on employment and volunteer service for educators. It clarifies the circumstances under which an educator's license can be denied, suspended, or revoked, and importantly, it establishes new criteria for when individuals ineligible for licensure, or whose licenses have been suspended or revoked, are prohibited from being employed or volunteering in public schools. The bill distinguishes between "qualifying serious misconduct," which automatically triggers employment and volunteer restrictions, and other types of misconduct or "technical violations" (like administrative errors), which may require the State Board of Education to issue specific written findings demonstrating a risk to students before such restrictions are applied. Additionally, the bill mandates that individuals facing potential license suspension or revocation be informed about these employment and volunteer restrictions during the hearing process.
