Prohibiting bullying in schools.
Prohibiting bullying in schools.
HB384 aims to prohibit bullying in schools, ensuring a safer environment for students. It would affect all students, teachers, and staff in schools by creating clear policies against bullying and establishing consequences for those who engage in it. The bill was introduced on January 10, 2025, and referred to the Education Policy and Administration committee.
As of March 5, 2025, the committee reported that the bill was "Inexpedient to Legislate," meaning they decided not to move it forward. On March 13, 2025, the House adopted a motion stating it was also inexpedient to legislate on this matter, effectively ending its progress for now. This decision means the bill is currently inactive and will not proceed to a vote unless reconsidered in the future.
Key actions include the bill's introduction, referral to the Education Policy and Administration committee, and the committee's decision to not pursue it further. The next steps depend on whether any legislators decide to revisit the bill in a future session.
