HR 6525 United States House · 119th Congress

National Educator Safety and Accountability Act of 2025

This bill creates a national registry (NEMDR) to track educators with substantiated sexual misconduct involving students. It requires all schools and districts receiving federal funds to report misconduct findings, terminations, and resignations during investigations to both state agencies and the registry within 48 hours, prohibiting "passing the trash" (hiding misconduct records). The registry will be used during hiring for any position with student contact, and non-compliant schools or states risk losing federal education funding. It also establishes a federal task force to analyze data, identify systemic weaknesses, and provide technical assistance.
