What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires schools to provide teen dating violence prevention education

and establishes certain criteria governing the instruction provided. The bill requires

the Department of Public Instruction to prepare, by July 1, 2020, a policy governing

the prevention of and appropriate responses to teen dating violence and sexual

violence when pupils are at school or while pupils are under the supervision of a

school authority. By January 1, 2021, each school board must adopt either DPI's

policy and curriculum or its own policy and curriculum. The bill also requires DPI

to incorporate teen dating violence and sexual violence prevention curriculum into
