Bill > H1329

This bill aims to prevent and respond to bullying of elderly and disabled residents in covered residential communities. It defines bullying, including cyber-bullying, group or social bullying, and mobbing, and prohibits it on the premises or through the use of technology owned by the community. The bill requires the public safety division of the Attorney General's office to publish a model plan and training curricula for community owners/managers, as well as create a list of bullying prevention resources. Each covered community must develop and implement a plan to address bullying, with specific procedures for reporting, investigating, and responding to incidents. The plan must also include provisions for protecting victims, notifying authorities, and training staff. The bill establishes owner/manager responsibilities for implementing and overseeing the plan, as well as reporting requirements for staff.
