What changed between versions

S7535 → S7535A · 3 edits
MINOR
The bill was amended after committee review to clarify that student interview protections apply specifically to interviews conducted on school grounds, rather than anywhere an employee of the administration for children's services might interview a student. This limitation narrows the scope of the protections to the school environment while maintaining the core requirement that students receive verbal and written warnings about their rights during interviews.
Scope change
Narrowed the applicability of student interview protections to only those conducted on school grounds, removing the broader application to any location where an employee might interview a student.
SCOPE

Added the phrase 'on school grounds' to limit where the interview protections apply, changing the requirement from interviews by any employee of the administration for children's services to interviews conducted on school grounds by such employees.

TECHNICAL

Added committee discharge and amendment language to the bill header, indicating the bill was amended and recommitted to the Committee on New York City Education after committee review.

Changed the bill number from S7535 to S7535-A to reflect the amended version of the legislation.
