Rule 19(a) / Re-referred to Rules Committee
Summary
The bill amends Illinois' School Code to automatically expel for at least one year any student who initiates non‑consensual sexual activity, a sexual assault, or an attempted sexual assault at a school, school‑sponsored event, or any activity reasonably related to school. The expulsion can be adjusted by the district superintendent and further reviewed by the school board, and must comply with the federal IDEA, allowing the student to transfer to an alternative program. It aims to provide a clear, strong response to serious sexual misconduct in educational settings.
