Creates a domestic abuse hotline for teens
This bill creates a 24-hour, toll-free domestic abuse hotline specifically for teens in the state. It directly affects high school students, requiring all high schools to hold annual assemblies about domestic abuse dangers and provide the hotline number. The law mandates the Office of Children and Family Services to establish the hotline and local districts to inform teens about it. Schools must follow commissioner-set guidelines for these assemblies, which include distributing the hotline information each year. The requirements take effect immediately for the hotline, with school assemblies applying to the first full school year after enactment.
