Revises certain portions of law related to criminal history record check for school employees.
This bill updates New Jersey laws to require criminal history record checks for most paid school employees and volunteers who have regular contact with students under 18. It mandates that schools verify these individuals have no disqualifying criminal records before hiring, while also allowing districts to require checks for unpaid volunteers. The law lists specific offenses that would permanently disqualify an individual, including violent crimes, drug-related offenses, and crimes against minors, but includes a provision allowing applicants to challenge the accuracy of any disqualifying information found.
