Clarifies criminal history record check requirements for workers conducting construction or public works activities in school buildings; requires school district to update visitor policy.
This bill (S 3395) requires criminal history record checks for workers conducting construction or public works in school buildings, including general contractors, subcontractors, and third-party contractor employees. It mandates that school districts update their visitor policies to register these workers upon entering school buildings. Contractors must submit lists of workers who've undergone required checks and certify that all have passed the same background checks as school employees. The bill increases fines for non-compliance from $500 to $1,000 for first offenses and $5,000 for subsequent offenses, with third offenses leading to a three-year contract ban with state agencies. It applies the same background check standards used for public school employees to construction workers in school settings.
