A bill for an act relating to school safety by requiring the creation of threat assessment teams and authorizing information sharing between certain governmental agencies.
SSB 1099 requires Iowa school districts, charter schools, and accredited nonpublic schools to establish multidisciplinary threat assessment teams to address student behavior posing safety risks. These teams, which may include law enforcement, mental health professionals, and school staff, must coordinate resources and intervene when students exhibit threatening behavior toward others on school property. The bill also authorizes covered entities - including schools, juvenile justice agencies, mental health providers, and law enforcement - to share relevant student records or information for safety or service purposes, while providing immunity from civil liability for good-faith reports about credible safety threats. It applies to students in kindergarten through grade 12 experiencing emotional disturbance or posing threats to school safety.
