Description

Background checks for public school contract employees; penalty. Provides that, prior to awarding a contract for the provision of services that require direct contact with students, a school board shall require the contractor and, when relevant, any employee who will have direct contact with students, to certify (i) that he has not been convicted of a felony or any offense involving the sexual molestation or physical or sexual abuse or rape of a child; and (ii) whether he has been convicted of a crime of moral turpitude. Any person making a materially false statement regarding any such offense shall be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor. The fact of such conviction will be grounds for the revocation of the contract and, when relevant, revocation of the person's license to provide such services. Schools boards will not be liable for materially false statements regarding the required certifications. "Direct contact with students" is defined as "being in the presence of students during regular school hours or during school-sponsored activities." Read the Bill »
