| IL | Signed into law 06/2010 | P-12 | Makes changes concerning the general assembly's findings concerning bullying prevention education and gang resistance education and training. Provides for a definition of "bullying" instead of "bullying prevention". Repeals requirement that a district make suitable provision for instruction in bullying prevention and gang resistance education and training. Additionally requires each non-public, non-sectarian elementary or secondary school (instead of just school districts) to create and maintain a policy on bullying, and to communicate this policy to parents and students annually. Provides that nothing in the bullying prevention provisions is intended to infringe upon any right to exercise free expression or the free exercise of religion or religiously based views protected under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution or under Section 3 or 4 of Article 1 of the Illinois Constitution. Provides for a School Bullying Prevention Task Force to (1) explore the causes and consequences of bullying in schools, (2) identify promising practices that reduce incidences of bullying, (3) highlight training and technical assistance opportunities for schools to effectively address bullying, (4) evaluate the effectiveness of schools' current anti-bullying policies and other bullying prevention programs, and (4) other related issues. Directs the state superintendent to appoint members to the task force from specified constituencies. By March 2011, directs the task force to submit a report to the governor and the general assembly on any recommendations for preventing and addressing bullying in schools and a proposed timeline for meeting the task force's charges identified in legislation. Repeals section on school bullying prevention task force on March 2, 2011. Moves "gang resistance education and training" language from same section as anti-bullying legislation to its own section, new 105 ILCS 5/27-23.10. Adds that non-public, non-sectarian elementary or secondary schools may make suitable provisions for instruction in gang resistance education and training. http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/96/SB/PDF/09600SB3266lv.pdf

| GA | Signed into law 05/2010 | P-12 | Amends definition of "bullying" to include cyberbullying and acts committed at school-related locations such as school grounds, school bus stops, school vehicles and school-sponsored activities. Expands defintion to include any intentional written, verbal or physical act that a reasonable person would perceive as being intended to threaten, harass or intimidate, and that meets any of specified criteria.

Requires local policies to provide for determination of bullying by the disciplinary hearing officer, panel or tribunal of school officials; also requires local policies to include a method to notify a parent that his/her child has committed an act of bullying or is a bullying victim. By January 2011, directs the department of education to develop a model anti-bullying policy, to be posted to the department Web site; identifies components the model policy must include. Requires the department to post to its Web site a list of entities providing antibullying training programs and materials deemed appropriate for use in local school systems. Provides civil immunity for any individual who in good faith reports an incident of bullying. Provides that nothing in legislation or the department of education model policy requires a local board to provide transportation to a student transferred to another school as a result of a bullying incident.
Provides that knowledge, intention or recklessness must be an element of any offense of disruption or interference with the operation of any public school, public school bus or public school bus stop. http://www.legis.state.ga.us/legis/2009_10/pdf/sb250.pdf
