Use of law enforcement or juvenile court records to take disciplinary action against a pupil under a school district's athletic code

What it does

Summary by the Legislative Reference Bureau, the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Under current law, law enforcement and juvenile court records obtained by and relating to the conduct of a pupil of a school district may not be used as the sole basis for expelling or suspending the pupil or as the sole basis for taking any other disciplinary action against the pupil, including action under the school district's athletic code. 2011 Senate Bill 95 (SB-95), which has passed in both the senate and assembly but, as of November 29, 2011, had not been signed by the governor, permits a school district to use law enforcement records as the sole basis for taking action against a pupil under the district's athletic code, but did not make that change to all provisions of current law governing the use of a pupil's law enforcement or juvenile court records. This bill extends the change made under SB-95 to the other provisions in current law governing the use by a school district of a pupil's law enforcement and juvenile court records for disciplinary purposes.
