Viewers will receive a comprehensive overview of key provisions introduced through Senate Bill (SB) 571 and House Bill (HB) 4623 and learn about:
- Expanded reporting requirements for employee misconduct
- Inclusion of certain service providers under these mandates
- Updated expectations for pre-employment and pre-service affidavits
- Liability standards for public schools and school professionals in cases of sexual misconduct or failure to report abuse (effective Sept. 1, 2025)
The slide presentation handout and a PDF copy of the FAQs will be provided.
