No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
Local Government Impact
The bill would amend processes relating to the termination of employees convicted of certain criminal offenses. The bill would also require a superintendent to complete an investigation of an educator despite the educator's resignation if there is reasonable cause to believe the individual engaged in conduct described in Penal Code 21.12(a) with a student enrolled in a public primary or secondary school within the same school district in which the individual is employed.
