What’s in it

This bill modifies provisions related to the time in which the board of educational examiners (BOEE) can investigate complaints relating to licensed school employees having romantic or otherwise inappropriate relationships with students. Current law requires the BOEE to adopt rules related to the filing of complaints against individuals who hold a license, certificate, authorization, or statement of recognition issued by the BOEE. Current law also requires that the conduct providing the basis for the complaint to have occurred within three years of discovery of the event by the complainant unless good cause can be shown for an extension of the three-year limitation.

Read the full explanation

The bill provides that the three-year limitation shall also not apply if the conduct constitutes soliciting, encouraging, or consummating a romantic or otherwise inappropriate relationship with a student.
