HB 2198 Criminal records checks for private school employees.

Introduced by: Robert F. McDonnell | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Criminal records checks for private school employees. Clarifies that the Criminal Central Criminal Records Exchange (CCRE) is to report to the governing board, administrator, or private organization coordinating criminal history records on behalf of such governing board or administrator pursuant to a written agreement with the Department of State Police, whether or not an applicant for private school employment has ever been convicted of certain crimes. Current language had indicated that the CCRE would report whether the applicant met “criteria for employment”; although a private school, like a public school, may deny employment based on reported convictions, it is not statutorily required to do so. Additional amendments clarify this concept throughout the bill.
