BILL NUMBER:S3545
Title of bill
An act to amend the education law, in relation to pre-employment investigations for personnel employed in school districts
Purpose
This legislation requires the investigation of school district personnel involved with the care, custody or supervision of a child.
Summary of provisions
Section 1. The education law is amended by adding a new section 3001-e. Section 2. Subdivision 20 of section 2590-h of the education law is amended by chapter 100 of the law of 2003. Section 4. This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall have become a law; provided however, that any rules and regulations necessary to implement the provisions of the act shall be promulgated on or before its effective date.
Justification
The legislature recognizes the necessity that any person who is employed or assigned to work as part of the workfare program involving the care and custody or supervision of a child shall be investigated as to his or her qualifications, use of a controlled substance and be free of communicable diseases. Since the federal government passed legislation concerning workfare for welfare recipients, there has been concern by parents of children that there be some standards established concerning workfare persons assigned to work involving the care, custody or supervision of children in various programs. These areas of concern are in the areas of competence, health, safety, and security for the children. The provisions of the bill are meant to ease the parental concerns.
