against the bill today calling it anti Black.

Schools would have to beef up their background checks before hiring a teacher.

If House Bill 2.75 becomes law.

The House passed it unanimously today.

The bill seeks to hold sexually abusive teachers accountable by preventing predators from bouncing to different school districts.

>> And I'm going to say that 99.9% plus never dedicated teachers in those individuals who work in our school systems are there to support our children to help them in their education.

However.

There are a small number of individuals.

If you watch the knees, it's almost daily somewhere.

United States, you will see some type of story were some type of allegation has happened or a person in a position of trust in authority.

He's taken advantage of young child, a student in this country.

I will share a story that happened that I'm aware of before I became a member of this body.

Ahead, individual, a family that I need.

They had a young daughter who was a teenage daughter attending a public high school.

There was a teacher and that school that made inappropriate sexual advances toward that young lady.

The parish report that and they found out that that teacher had done.

It had the same allegation made another school system.

What happened?

That teacher had just resigned from that school system.

There was no investigation.

It moved all to another school system.

That's one of the things we're trying to prevent.

And House Bill.

2.75.

>> Now the House passed a similar bill last year, but it did not make it to the Senate floor.

A 2022 investigation from the Lexington Herald-Leader found 61% of Kentucky teachers who had their licenses suspended or revoked last those licenses because of sexual misconduct.
