MODERATE

This bill establishes a registry for nonlicensed tutors in Oregon, requiring entities that employ tutors to submit applications on behalf of individual tutors. The registry includes criminal background checks and allows for denial or removal based on substantiated reports of misconduct or false statements. The bill also updates provisions about superintendent contracts and civil rights coordinators in school districts.

Scope change

The bill now applies to tutors employed by independent entities rather than individuals applying directly, and extends registry requirements to include criminal background checks and renewal provisions.

ELIGIBILITY

Changed from individual tutors applying directly to applications being submitted by entities that employ or contract with tutors.

REQUIREMENT

Added requirement for entities to include results of nationwide criminal records checks in applications.

Added requirement that registry entries must be renewed every three years.

Added requirement for State Board of Education to adopt rules for registry renewal.

ENFORCEMENT

Changed grounds for denial from individual false statements to entity false statements, and added 'reason to know' standard for gross neglect or unfitness.

TECHNICAL

Minor formatting changes to bill structure and sponsorship information.
