Bill > H841

This bill, the Stop Educator Sexual Abuse, Misconduct and Exploitation (S.E.S.A.M.E.) Act of 2015, applies to all positions for employment at public and private school entities and independent contractors involving direct contact with children. It requires applicants to provide information about their employment history, including any abuse or sexual misconduct investigations, disciplinary actions, or license suspensions. School entities must review the applicant's employment history and check their eligibility for employment or certification. Applicants who provide false information or fail to disclose required information may be subject to discipline or denial of employment. The bill also prohibits employment agreements that suppress information about investigations of suspected abuse or sexual misconduct, and requires the reporting of such incidents to the appropriate authorities.
