HB 482

Abstract

Reports of certain arrests and convictions ofschool employees; timing; method. Requires any probation andparole officer who is supervising a person employed by a local schooldivision in the Commonwealth, upon discovering that such supervisedperson has been arrested for or convicted of a felony offense oran equivalent offense in another state, to report such arrest orconviction to the Superintendent of Public Instruction and the designated division safety official in the local school division in which suchsupervised person is employed as soon as practicable but no laterthan 48 hours after such arrest. Current law requires such reportto be made as soon as practicable. The bill also removes the requirementto report certain arrests and convictions of school employees enumeratedin law via fax to the fax number identified for the division superintendentor the designated division safety official, as the case may be. However,the requirements in current law to make such reports via certified mail and email are preserved.
