The bill aims to prevent registered sex offenders from being employed in positions where they would provide direct services to minors or have direct supervision or oversight of minors. It amends RSA 632-A:10 by replacing the term "Child Care Service of Persons Convicted of Certain Offenses" with "Employment in Businesses Providing Direct Services to Minors or Direct Supervision or Oversight of Minors." The amendment specifies that a person is guilty of a class A felony if they engage in employment or volunteer service in various roles involving minors, such as a teacher, coach, day care worker, scout master or leader, camp counselor, or any similar position that involves direct supervision or one-on-one work with minors.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that a person is guilty of a class B felony if they fail to disclose their conviction when applying for or engaging in employment or volunteer service of the specified kind, or when applying for initial teacher certification. The legal language changes include the insertion of "or she" to include both genders, and the clarification of the types of employment or volunteer service covered by the law. The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2025.
