Requires any probation andparole officer who is supervising a person employed by a local schooldivision in the Commonwealth, upon discovering that such supervisedperson has been arrested for or convicted of a felony offense oran equivalent offense in another state, to report such arrest orconviction to the Superintendent of Public Instruction and the designated division safety official in the local school division in which suchsupervised person is employed as soon as practicable but no laterthan 48 hours after such arrest.
