AB 2365: Education-related positions: egregious misconduct: previous employment disclosures.

This bill aims to strengthen protections for students by expanding the definition of "egregious misconduct" to include additional offenses, such as human trafficking and child abandonment. It prohibits certificated individuals who are dismissed for egregious misconduct from being employed in any education-related position by state agencies, schools, or local agencies. The bill also requires schools to inquire with the Commission on Teacher Credentialing before considering an applicant for a certificated position, and to request relevant information from the reporting entity if they have received a credible complaint or substantiated investigation. The bill includes findings that the proposed changes address a matter of statewide concern and applies to all cities, including charter cities.
