(1) Any person convicted of a sex offense who is employed in any position, or who contracts with a person to provide personal services, where the employee or contractor will have direct, private and unsupervised contact with minors under the age of eighteen (18) shall notify in writing the employer or the person with whom the person has contracted or is employed of his sex offender status.
(2) The employer shall make a reasonable attempt to notify the parents or guardians of any minors under the age of eighteen (18) with whom the employee or contractor will have direct, private and unsupervised contact of the offender’s criminal record.
(3) This section applies to all registered sex offenders regardless of the date of conviction.
(4) An employer acting in good faith in making notification to parents or guardians under this section, or who fails in good faith to make notification, shall not be liable in any civil or criminal action as a result of the notification or failure to notify.
(5) This section does not authorize the employment of a person for a position for which employment of a sex offender is prohibited by any law.
(6) This section does not apply to an employer whose employees have only incidental contact with children because children may be present in the workplace without any formal agreement; casual or incidental contact does not trigger the duty to inform.
