Revises law requiring school districts, charter schools, nonpublic schools, and contracted service providers to review employment history of prospective employee for allegations of child abuse or sexual misconduct.

This bill requires New Jersey school districts, charter schools, private schools, and contracted service providers to review the employment history of prospective employees in roles involving regular student contact. Specifically, it mandates that applicants provide a list of current and relevant past employers (including schools and child-contact positions from the last 20 years), authorize disclosure of employment records, and disclose any past investigations or disciplinary actions related to child abuse or misconduct. Employers must verify this information with former employers within 20 days, maintain records for audits, and may impose penalties (including fines up to $10,000) for false statements or omissions. The law directly affects schools, service providers, and job applicants in student-facing roles.
