Bill Summary
An act relating to student mental health procedures; amending ss. 1002.20 and 1002.33, F.S.; requiring verification that certain strategies have been utilized and certain outreach has been initiated before a principal or his or her designee contacts a law enforcement officer under specified circumstances; providing an exception; providing an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill amends state laws to require public school principals or their designees to verify that de-escalation strategies have been utilized and outreach to a mobile response team has been initiated before contacting law enforcement when a student is removed from school for an involuntary mental health examination, unless the principal reasonably believes any delay would increase the likelihood of harm. This requirement does not override a law enforcement officer's authority to act under the existing mental health examination law. The bill also requires charter schools to develop policies and procedures for this notification process.
