Bill Summary

For legislation relative to strengthening background checks. Education.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to strengthen background checks by requiring the Department of Early Education and Care to enter into interagency agreements with the Disabled Persons Protection Commission and the Department of Children and Families. These agreements would allow for the sharing of information from investigations of abuse or neglect for current or prospective employees who may have unsupervised contact with children in programs or facilities licensed, approved, or funded by the Department. The bill also requires similar agreements between the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and these agencies for employees who may have direct and unmonitored contact with children in schools or other programs.
