- Amends Florida statute 1012.315 governing screening standards for educator certification and employment in district schools, charter schools, and private schools participating in state scholarship programs
- Current law disqualifies individuals from educator certification or student-contact positions based on certain criminal convictions, sex offender registration, security background checks, and specified delinquent acts
- Adds an exception prohibiting automatic disqualification if the disqualifying offense occurred at least 20 years ago and the person either pled no contest to or had adjudication withheld for the offense
- Both conditions — the 20-year time threshold and the no-contest plea or withheld adjudication — must be met for the automatic disqualification bar to be lifted
