HB 482 School employees; reports of certain arrests and convictions.

Introduced by: Thomas A. Garrett, Jr. | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Reports of certain arrests and convictions of school employees; timing; method. Requires any probation and parole officer who is supervising a person employed by a local school division in the Commonwealth, upon discovering that such supervised person has been arrested for or convicted of a felony offense or an equivalent offense in another state, to report such arrest or conviction to the Superintendent of Public Instruction and the designated division safety official in the local school division in which such supervised person is employed as soon as practicable but no later than 48 hours after such arrest. Current law requires such report to be made as soon as practicable. The bill also removes the requirement to report certain arrests and convictions of school employees enumerated in law via fax to the fax number identified for the division superintendent or the designated division safety official, as the case may be. However, the requirements in current law to make such reports via certified mail and email are preserved.
