SB 579 - This act expands the crime of sexual contact with a student. Currently, only a teacher who has sexual contact with a student while on public school property is guilty of the crime of sexual contact with a student. Under this act, any teacher, school employee, or person employed by an entity that contracts with the public school district to provide services shall be guilty of such crime if he or she has sexual contact with a student on school property. The term "school property" includes the property of any public elementary or secondary school or any school bus used by the public school district. The crime of sexual contact with a student is a Class D felony. This act is similar to certain provisions in TAT/SS/SCS/HCS/HB 1698 et al (2006). SUSAN HENDERSON MOORE
