Connecticut HB05327 allows disclosure of open investigations of abuse, neglect, or sexual misconduct during the hiring process for school employees.

Connecticut HB05327 amends the state's general statutes to allow local and regional boards of education, charter school operators, and supervisory agents of nonpublic schools to disclose any open investigations of abuse, neglect, or sexual misconduct involving a job applicant. The bill requires these entities to contact the applicant's current and former employers to obtain relevant information before offering employment. It also mandates that any employer with information about such investigations must respond to inquiries within five business days.
