STOP Bullying Act

HR 5307, the STOP Bullying Act, requires each state to establish a state-level anti-bullying task force to study and address bullying in K-12 schools. The task force must include specific members like teachers, students, LGBTQ advocates, school psychologists, and parents, and study school policies, educator training, and bullying-related incidents. States must submit a final report with recommendations for reducing bullying and best practices within one year, making these reports publicly available. The bill directly affects all public elementary and secondary schools nationwide, with specific focus on reducing bullying that disproportionately impacts LGBTQ students, as highlighted in the bill's findings.
