HB 1451 Criminal records checks for certain school board employees
Introduced by: W. Tayloe Murphy, Jr. | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Criminal records checks for school board employees. Adds Lancaster, Mecklenburg, and York Counties and the City of Manassas Park to the list of jurisdictions whose school boards must (i) require, as a condition of employment, fingerprinting for applicants who are offered or accept school board employment, whether on a temporary, permanent, or part- or full-time basis, and (ii) submit the 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 also receive reports of arrests for these crimes for current employees, who must then submit to fingerprinting and a criminal records check.
Under current law, the school board may require applicants and employees to pay for the fingerprinting and records check or may pay for these services from such funds as may be available for that purpose. The statute now directs 52 jurisdictions (29 counties and 23 cities) to require these criminal records checks.
