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.

S 2613 requires New Jersey school districts, charter schools, nonpublic schools, and contracted service providers to review the employment history of prospective employees who work with students for any allegations of child abuse or sexual misconduct. It mandates applicants to provide employer lists (including schools and child-contact roles from the last 20 years) and written authorization for background checks, and requires employers to verify past investigations or disciplinary actions related to such allegations. The law also imposes penalties for false statements, including fines up to $10,000, and outlines procedures for out-of-state applicant reviews. This directly affects schools and service providers hiring staff with student contact, aiming to strengthen background checks for safety.
