      1. A board of education shall notify the State Board of Examiners whenever a non-tenured, certificated employee is dismissed for cause, and the State board shall maintain a list containing the name and Social Security number of the employee and the reason for the dismissal for cause. A board of education or the superintendent of a school district or the chief school administrator of a nonpublic school may submit to the State board the name and Social Security number of a person who has applied for a position in the district or nonpublic school, and the State board shall indicate to the board or superintendent or chief school administrator of the nonpublic school whether the person has been previously dismissed for cause and the reason for the dismissal. This section shall not apply to a school board employee whose contract is not renewed.

      2. This act shall take effect immediately.

      Approved August 14, 1997.
