Summary

The bill lets a student or a parent file a lawsuit against a public school when a student suffers serious physical injury from bullying, the school received a report of the bullying, and the school failed to act. It also permits prevailing claimants to recover reasonable attorney fees and costs. A “prior report” includes written or verbal reports to school staff or staff observations they reasonably believe show bullying.
