A 8902 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to fingerprinting and background checks of contracted service providers of student support services

This bill requires fingerprinting and background checks for employees of contracted service providers who work directly with students in schools, such as substitute teachers, tutors, educational consultants, and school administrative support staff. It allows school districts to delegate the fingerprinting process to these contracted providers (instead of handling it themselves) if the providers meet state requirements. The bill also updates forms for submitting fingerprints and receiving criminal history clearance, while excluding school districts in cities with over one million residents from these rules. These changes apply to public school districts, charter schools, and non-public schools providing student support services.
