House Bill 486
Requiring county boards of education, nonpublic schools, and contracting agencies to require an applicant for a position involving direct contact with minors to submit certain information; requiring a county board, nonpublic school, or contracting agency to review the employment history of a certain applicant before hiring an applicant; requiring the county board, nonpublic school, or contracting agency to check certain eligibility of an applicant for a substitute position involving direct contact with minors; etc.




June 2018:  Passing the trash,” enabling teachers who sexually abuse students to pursue another job with no record of their sexual misconduct, is common practice for K–12 school district administrators who fear legal liability and tarnished reputations.

On February 14, 2019, a former MCPS student spoke to the Maryland House Ways and Means Committee in support of House Bill 486.  He said, "...MCPS teacher who sexually abused my classmate had worked at a prior school in MCPS and was credibly accused of doing the exact same thing"
