This bill mandates that certain public school employees, candidates for employment, employees of contracted service providers, and school bus drivers undergo a child abuse record information check conducted by the Department of Children and Families. Candidates and employees must provide prior written consent for the check and bear the associated costs. If the Department substantiates an allegation of child abuse or neglect against an individual, that person will be permanently disqualified from employment or service with a school district or youth camp. The bill also requires current employees in positions that necessitate a criminal history record check to undergo the child abuse record information check within five years of the bill's effective date.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that youth camp employees and candidates must also undergo the same child abuse record information check, with similar provisions regarding consent and costs. The Commissioner of Children and Families is tasked with adopting necessary regulations to implement the bill, which will be effective for a period not exceeding one year. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon enactment.
