HB 4258 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Education: safety; notification of certain tips related to a school; require the department of state police to provide. Amends sec. 3 of 2013 PA 183 (MCL 752.913). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4259'25

HB 4258 creates a statewide 24/7 hotline for the Michigan State Police to receive public reports about threats of self-harm, sexual abuse, assault, or violence targeting school students, staff, or schools. It requires the State Police to notify affected schools and local law enforcement within 24 hours of receiving such reports. The bill also mandates that existing school violence hotlines be disconnected within six months of the new hotline's launch and includes requirements for mental health resource referrals and staff training. This law directly affects schools, law enforcement, and students by establishing a standardized system for reporting and responding to school safety threats.
