Requires certain employees and candidates for public school employment or service and youth camp employees to undergo child abuse record information check.
This bill requires certain school employees (including candidates and current staff), school bus drivers, and youth camp workers to undergo child abuse record checks conducted by New Jersey's Department of Children and Families. Individuals must provide written consent and pay for the check, and those with substantiated abuse allegations in the state registry face permanent disqualification from these roles. School employees already hired must complete checks within five years of the law's effective date. The bill updates existing requirements for criminal history checks by adding this child abuse verification step for positions involving youth.
