Relative to hazing prevention for student athletes. Education.
AI Summary
This bill amends Chapter 71 of the General Laws to require public high schools in Massachusetts to provide a hazing training program for student athletes. The program must include definitions of hazing, descriptions of student athletes' responsibility to report hazing, legal penalties for hazing and failure to report it, potential school disciplinary actions, and the negative impacts of hazing. The bill also requires schools to maintain records of compliance and file a certification with the Department of Education, which can impose penalties on non-compliant schools. The provisions in this bill are to be construed in conjunction with existing laws on hazing in Chapter 269.
