following appropriately numbered SECTION to the bill and 
renumbering subsequent SECTIONS accordingly:
	SECTION ____.  Section 22.0834, Education Code, is amended 
by adding Subsections (k), (l), (m), (n), (o), and (p) to read as 
follows:
	(k)  The requirements of this section apply to an entity that 
contracts directly with a school district, open-enrollment charter 
school, or shared services arrangement and any subcontractor of the 
entity.
	(l)  A contracting entity shall require that a 
subcontracting entity obtain all criminal history record 
information that relates to an employee to whom Subsection (a) 
applies.  If a contracting or subcontracting entity determines that 
Subsection (a) does not apply to an employee, the contracting or 
subcontracting entity shall make a reasonable effort to ensure that 
the conditions or precautions that resulted in the determination 
that Subsection (a) did not apply to the employee continue to exist 
throughout the time that the contracted services are provided.
	(m)  A contracting entity complies with the requirements of 
this section if the contracting entity obtains a written statement 
from each subcontracting entity certifying that the subcontracting 
entity has obtained the required criminal history record 
information for employees of the subcontracting entity and the 
subcontracting entity has obtained certification from each of the 
subcontracting entity's subcontractors.
	(n)  A subcontracting entity must certify to the school 
district, open-enrollment charter school, or shared services 
arrangement and the contracting entity that the subcontracting 
entity has obtained all criminal history record information that 
relates to an employee to whom Subsection (a) applies and has 
obtained similar written certifications from the subcontracting 
entity's subcontractors.
	(o)  A contracting or subcontracting entity may not permit an 
employee to whom Subsection (a) applies to provide services at a 
school if the employee has been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor 
offense that would prevent a person from obtaining certification as 
an educator under Section 21.060.
	(p)  In this section:
