Relating to: the voluntary surrender of a license issued by the Department of Public Instruction during an investigation of immoral conduct, prohibited agreements related to information related to an investigation of immoral conduct, and records related to an investigation of immoral conduct.

SB 999 establishes rules for licensees (like educators) under investigation for unprofessional conduct. It requires licensees to surrender licenses permanently to end investigations, bars the state from reinstating surrendered licenses during such probes, and mandates public posting of surrender details online. The bill prohibits agreements that hide investigation records or suppress findings, and requires the department to release related records within 14 days of a public request. These provisions aim to increase transparency and prevent licensees from avoiding accountability through voluntary surrender.
