Bullying Prevention Awareness Month; designate the month of October as.

HB 702 designates October as Bullying Prevention Awareness Month in Mississippi, creating a month-long observance to educate the public about bullying and cyberbullying prevention. This designation applies statewide, encouraging schools, community organizations, and local governments to host awareness events and educational programs during October. The bill explicitly states this observance is not a legal holiday and does not alter existing school calendars or holiday schedules. It focuses solely on raising public awareness, with no new funding, regulations, or enforcement mechanisms.
