Applicants for Positions Involving Direct Contact With Minors - Required Information, Review Process, and Reporting - Alterations

HB 1105 requires child care centers, youth-serving organizations, schools, and contracting agencies to collect specific information from applicants for roles involving direct contact with minors. Applicants must provide contact details for recent employers (especially those involving minors), sign consent forms for releasing records about boundary-violating behavior, and disclose any past investigations into such behavior - excluding cases where findings deemed allegations unfounded. The bill also mandates annual reporting of this information to the State Department of Education, which will compile and submit it to the General Assembly. This applies to all entities hiring staff who regularly interact with children, focusing on transparency in hiring practices.
