Prohibits student who commits certain sexual offenses from attending same school building or using same school bus as victim of offense.
This bill prohibits students convicted of or adjudicated for certain sexual assaults (including aggravated sexual assault or sexual contact) from attending the same school building as their victim or riding the same school bus used by the victim. It directly affects public school students in grades K-12 who commit these offenses and are sentenced by a court. The key mechanism requires courts to mandate these prohibitions as part of sentencing, probation, or other legal dispositions. The policy change ensures physical separation between the offender and victim within school facilities and transportation.
