HB 5660 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Education: safety; reference to school safety commission; update. Amends secs. 6, 1241 & 1308a of 1976 PA 451 (MCL 380.6 et seq.).

This bill updates definitions and reporting requirements within Michigan's Revised School Code to align with changes in the state's school safety structure. It clarifies the definition of a "school safety commission" to reflect a transition from the current commission to a new school safety and mental health commission starting January 1, 2025. Additionally, the bill requires school boards to designate a liaison to collaborate with the safety commission on identifying safety measures and mandates annual reports detailing student expulsions to be submitted to the superintendent and the commission. These changes directly affect school districts, intermediate school districts, and public school academies by formalizing their interaction with state safety oversight and improving data tracking on disciplinary actions.
