 IN SENATE

 March 27, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. LANZA -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
 printed to be committed to the Committee on Education

 AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to removal, from the
 classroom of a teacher, of violent pupils against such teacher

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. The subdivision heading and the opening paragraph of subdi-
 2 vision 3-a of section 3214 of the education law, as added by chapter 181
 3 of the laws of 2000, are amended to read as follows:
 4 Teacher removal of a disruptive or violent pupil. In addition, any
 5 teacher shall have the power and authority to remove a disruptive or
 6 violent pupil, as defined in subdivision two-a of this section, from
 7 such teacher's classroom consistent with discipline measures contained
 8 in the code of conduct adopted by the board pursuant to section twenty-
 9 eight hundred one of this chapter. The school authorities of any school
 10 district shall establish policies and procedures to ensure the provision
 11 of continued educational programming and activities for students removed
 12 from the classroom pursuant to this subdivision and provided further
 13 that nothing in this subdivision shall authorize the removal of a pupil
 14 in violation of any state or federal law or regulation. No pupil shall
 15 return to the classroom until the principal makes a final determination
 16 pursuant to paragraph c of this subdivision, or the period of removal
 17 expires, whichever is less; provided, further, that no violent pupil who
 18 commits an act of violence upon a teacher shall return to the teacher's
 19 classroom unless and until such teacher, in such teacher's sole
 20 discretion, grants their consent thereto.
 21 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
