CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE—
2017–2018 REGULAR SESSION
| Assembly Bill | No. 872 |
| Introduced by Assembly Member Chau |
February 16, 2017 |
An act to amend Section 44010 of the Education Code, relating to school employees.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 872, as introduced, Chau.
School employees: employment: sex offenses.
Existing law prohibits the employment or retainment of employment by a school district of a person convicted of a sex offense and defines the term “sex offense” for those purposes and for specified other provisions relating to schools and school employees.
This bill would revise the list of crimes included in the definition of “sex offense” by, among other things, including specified crimes a violation of which requires a person to register as a sex offender under the Sex Offender Registration Act. By imposing additional duties on local educational agencies to, among other things, take action relating to the employment of a person convicted of one of those offenses, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
