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

HB 1013 designates October as Bullying Prevention Awareness Month in Mississippi to promote education and awareness about bullying and cyberbullying. This designation, added to Mississippi Code Section 3-3-7, establishes a month-long observance for schools, community organizations, and the public to focus on prevention efforts. It does not create a legal holiday or impose new legal requirements, but rather serves as a symbolic recognition to encourage statewide awareness activities. The bill amends existing law to formally include October as a dedicated month for raising public consciousness about bullying prevention.
