What’s in it
AI summary The Board of Educational Examiners currently has a three-year limit for investigating complaints about licensed school employees. This new rule removes that time limit if the complaint involves an employee seeking or having a romantic or inappropriate relationship with a student. This change means these specific types of misconduct can be investigated regardless of how much time has passed.1

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. 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.
