Bill would bar terrorism convicts from jobs with minors

Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

1. The bill, introduced by the Mixed Parliamentary Group at the initiative of a lawmaker from UPN, seeks to prevent people convicted of terrorism offenses from holding public jobs with regular contact with minors. It is a bill in the legislative process, not an approved law.
2. It would require, as a condition to enter selection processes for jobs involving repeated and direct contact with minors, not having a final conviction for terrorism offenses. Applicants would have to prove this with a criminal record certificate, and court rulings from other European Union member states would count as well.
3. It would bar people convicted of these offenses from receiving public subsidies for projects aimed at minors, as well as companies or entities that employ or subcontract them. The ban would apply automatically and would have to be proven with criminal record certificates from everyone taking part in the project.
4. If approved, the law would repeal any conflicting rules and would take effect the day after its publication in the Official State Gazette (Boletín Oficial del Estado).

Who it affects

• People convicted of terrorism offenses: They could not apply for public jobs with regular contact with minors or receive subsidies for projects aimed at minors.
• People seeking public jobs working with minors: They would have to submit a criminal record certificate showing no terrorism convictions.
• Entities applying for subsidies for activities with minors: They could not receive aid if anyone working on the project has a terrorism conviction, and would have to prove this with certificates.
• Public administrations and educators: They would have to require and verify these conditions in selection processes and subsidy calls.
