Bill > AB2365

This bill expands the definition of "egregious misconduct," which refers to serious offenses by school employees, to include a wider range of offenses such as human trafficking, child abandonment, child abduction, impermissible contact with minors, certain assaults, spousal abuse, and failure to disclose previous employment issues. It also establishes a new prohibition preventing individuals dismissed for egregious misconduct, and whose teaching credentials have been adversely affected by the Commission on Teacher Credentialing (the state agency that licenses teachers) for such misconduct, from being employed in any education-related role by state agencies, the California State University, the University of California, or any local government or educational entity. Furthermore, the bill modifies the process for prospective employers to investigate an applicant's past employment by requiring them to first inquire with the Commission on Teacher Credentialing about any reported egregious misconduct before contacting previous employers, aiming to streamline and improve the disclosure of such information to ensure student safety.
