Title

Schools, public K-12 teachers and employees, charged with certain sexual crimes against students, paid administrative leave and discipline of school employees charged removed, Sec. 13A-6-83 repealed

Summary

HB 27 would repeal a provision that requires paid administrative leave and sets disciplinary procedures for school employees charged with certain sexual offenses against students.

What This Bill Does

It repeals Section 13A-6-83, removing the paid administrative leave rule and the department-specific discipline process for teachers and other public K-12 employees charged with certain sexual offenses against students. By doing so, disciplinary actions in these cases would align with the Students First Act's due process procedures. The change takes effect immediately after the bill is passed and approved by the Governor.

Who It Affects

• Public K-12 teachers and other school employees charged with certain sexual offenses against students would no longer be subject to the paid administrative leave provision and would be disciplined under the Students First Act's due process procedures.
• School districts and other school employers would similarly no longer apply the repealed paid administrative leave and associated procedures; they would follow the Students First Act framework for discipline.

Key Provisions

• Repeals Section 13A-6-83 of the Code of Alabama 1975, which provides for paid administrative leave and discipline of school employees charged with certain sexual offenses against students.
• Effective date: immediately following passage and governor's approval (or becoming law).
