            Previous law prohibited an entity contracting or subcontracting with a school district, open-enrollment charter school, or shared services arrangement from permitting an employee to provide services at a school that would entail direct contact with students if that employee had been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor offense that would prevent a person from obtaining educator certification. Senate Bill 1042 amends the Education Code to prohibit such an entity from permitting an employee to provide such services if that employee has been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor offense that would prevent a person from being employed by a school district.
