AB 2534 is a California law designed to improve transparency and accountability when hiring certificated school employees. Starting January 1, 2025, applicants for these positions must provide a full list of their past educational employers. Schools are then required to reach out to these previous employers to check for any credible complaints, investigations, or disciplinary actions related to serious misconduct.

This law helps ensure schools have access to important background information, creating a safer environment for students and staff.
