Massachusetts H516 establishes employee screening requirements in schools to prevent child sexual abuse.

Massachusetts H516 mandates that schools and contracted service providers conduct thorough employment history reviews for applicants in positions involving direct or regular contact with students. This includes checking the Central Registry of the Department of Children and Families and requesting information from former employers. Schools and contractors must not offer employment to applicants with pending or investigated allegations of abuse or sexual misconduct, or those with revoked licenses due to such allegations.
