HB 564: College Employee Criminal Background Checks

H.B. 564, P.N. 637 (BAKER) This would create the College and University Criminal History Background Act.
This would allow that a college may conduct a criminal history background check of a prospective faculty or staff employee. If such a check is conducted, an administrator would be required to disclose to the applicant if information from the part was any part of the decision whether or not to hire the person.
A college would be able to require a prospective faculty or staff employee to disclose if the applicant has ever been convicted of a felony, a sex offense, or misappropriation of funds.
