Bill > SB575

This bill establishes a temporary study committee focused on examining school bullying, consisting of four members (one senator and three representatives) appointed by the senate president and house speaker. The committee members will receive mileage reimbursement at the legislative rate and will be responsible for studying school bullying and exploring potential prevention strategies. They are required to elect a chairperson, with the first meeting to be called by the senate member within 45 days of the act's effective date, and a quorum of three members needed to conduct business. The committee must produce a comprehensive report detailing their findings and legislative recommendations, which will be submitted to key state officials including the senate president, house speaker, senate and house clerks, governor, and state library by November 1, 2026. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, providing a structured approach to understanding and addressing the complex issue of school bullying through dedicated legislative research.
