Student bullying policy requirements modified.
HF 517 modifies Minnesota's student bullying policy requirements by clarifying when electronic bullying using school-issued devices off-campus becomes subject to school policies. The bill adds a new provision (subsection 1.13-1.15) stating that bullying via school-issued devices off school premises is covered if it substantially disrupts learning or the school environment. This directly affects public school students and those participating in school activities, as it extends policy coverage to certain off-campus digital conduct using school equipment. The bill does not apply to home schools or nonpublic schools under specific statutes, though it encourages nonpublic schools to share their anti-bullying policies with the state commissioner.
