HB 448 Criminal records checks for school board employees in Montgomery Co.
Introduced by: James M. Shuler | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Criminal records checks for school board employees. Adds Montgomery County to the list of jurisdictions whose school boards must (i) require, as a condition of employment, fingerprinting for applicants who are offered or who accept school board employment, whether on a temporary, permanent, or part- or full-time basis, and (ii) submit these fingerprints and descriptive information through the Central Criminal Records Exchange to the Federal Bureau of Investigation to obtain the applicant's national criminal records history. The records are searched for all felonies and any misdemeanors involving drugs, abuse or neglect of children, moral turpitude, obscenity offenses, and sexual assault. In addition, localities requiring these records checks will also receive reports of arrests within Virginia for these crimes for current employees, who must then submit to fingerprinting and a national criminal records check. Under current law the named school boards may require applicants and employees to pay for the fingerprinting and records checks or may pay for these services from such funds as may be available for that purpose. The statute, which was codified in 1988 to direct only the Fairfax County School Board to fingerprint and conduct the FBI searches, now directs 56 jurisdictions, i.e., 32 counties and 24 cities, to require fingerprinting and conduct national criminal records checks.
