HB1411 EngrossedLRB104 07636 LNS 17680 b

1 AN ACT concerning education.

2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, 

3represented in the General Assembly:

4 Section 5. The School Code is amended by changing Section 

527-23.7 as follows:

6 (105 ILCS 5/27-23.7)

7 Sec. 27-23.7. Bullying prevention.

8 (a) The General Assembly finds that a safe and civil 

9school environment is necessary for students to learn and 

10achieve and that bullying causes physical, psychological, and 

11emotional harm to students and interferes with students' 

12ability to learn and participate in school activities. The 

13General Assembly further finds that bullying has been linked 

14to other forms of antisocial behavior, such as vandalism, 

15shoplifting, skipping and dropping out of school, fighting, 

16using drugs and alcohol, sexual harassment, and sexual 

17violence. Because of the negative outcomes associated with 

18bullying in schools, the General Assembly finds that school 

19districts, charter schools, and non-public, non-sectarian 

20elementary and secondary schools should educate students, 

21parents, and school district, charter school, or non-public, 

22non-sectarian elementary or secondary school personnel about 

23what behaviors constitute prohibited bullying.
