Tennessee HB1109 amends background check requirements for individuals in positions near school children.

Tennessee HB1109 amends existing laws to require private schools to conduct fingerprint-based or social security number-based criminal history records checks for individuals applying for or holding positions requiring proximity to school children. These checks must include verifications from the state and national sex offender registries and the department of health's abuse registry. Additionally, schools must search the state's educator licensure database to verify if applicants have had their educator licenses suspended or revoked for misconduct.
