What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law requires each school board to adopt a policy prohibiting bullying

by pupils. A school board may adopt the model school policy on bullying developed

by the Department of Public Instruction.

This bill provides that if a school district's policy requires that school district

officials and employees report incidents of bullying, and a school district official or

employee fails to report an incident of bullying within the period required, the official

or employee is subject to a forfeiture of $200 for each violation.
