What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) may, after

written notice of the charges and an opportunity for defense, revoke any license

granted by DPI for incompetency or immoral conduct on the part of the licensee.

Current law defines "immoral conduct" as conduct that is contrary to commonly

accepted moral or ethical standards and that endangers the health, safety, welfare,

or education of any pupil.

This bill provides that "immoral conduct" includes the intentional use of an

educational agency's equipment to download, view, or distribute pornographic

material in violation of the educational agency's policy.

The bill directs DPI to initiate proceedings to revoke a license if the licensee is

dismissed or his or her contract is not renewed based in whole or in part on evidence

that the licensee engaged in immoral conduct, as described in the bill.

The bill also directs DPI to post the name of the licensee and the results of the

revocation proceeding on its Internet site.
