The Senate has amended the House amendment to a bill that would prohibit school personnel who have engaged in sexual misconduct with students or minors from being assisted to find new employment without having that misconduct reported to the appropriate authorities and investigated.
The House amendment to the bill, SB 256, would have added a new section to the bill relating to prohibiting aiding and abetting of sexual abuse by school personnel.
Senate Majority Leader Ryan Ferns, R-Ohio, said the new section made by the House Judiciary Committee deviated away from the bill’s original intent.
The bill will now be sent to the House for concurrence.
