Bill Summary
Relating to prohibiting the physical restraint of or use of chemical irritants or Tasers on certain public school students by peace officers and school security personnel under certain circumstances.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Education Code to prohibit peace officers and school security personnel from physically restraining or using chemical irritants or Tasers on students enrolled in fifth grade or below, unless the student poses a serious risk of harm to themselves or others. The bill also requires the Commissioner of Education to adopt procedures for the use of restraint and time-out by school district employees or volunteers, and independent contractors, when dealing with students with disabilities. These procedures must be consistent with professional practices and health and safety standards, and require schools to provide written notification to parents when restraint is used.
