| Summary |
The bill requires the general assembly to make an appropriation
from the general fund to the department of human services (department).
The department shall use the appropriation to fund career and technical
education and vocational training programs in designated youth facilities
for juveniles in the custody of the department.
The bill prevents an employer from requiring an applicant for
employment of any age to disclose information related to an arrest,
detention, processing, diversion, supervision, adjudication, or court
disposition that occurred while the applicant was subject to the process
and jurisdiction of the juvenile court. As a factor in determining any
condition of employment, an employer shall not seek from any source any
record related to an arrest, detention, processing, diversion, supervision,
adjudication, or court disposition that occurred while the applicant was
subject to the process and jurisdiction of the juvenile court, except for
records that are publicly available and that are specifically related to the
tasks or functions of the job. Records that are publicly available include
juvenile offenses that constitute unlawful sexual behavior or a crime of
violence. The bill does not apply to the screening of applicants who have
direct contact with vulnerable persons.
The bill prohibits state or local agencies from denying or taking
adverse action against an applicant who has been adjudicated for a
delinquent act in a juvenile proceeding, but who is otherwise qualified for
a license, certification, permit, or registration.
