HB863:

Local law enforcement; certain reports to school principals and division superintendents.

Bill Summary:

Local law enforcement; certain reports to school
principals and division superintendents; form and scope. Requires
local law-enforcement authorities to report in writing, and the
principal or his designee and the division superintendent to receive
each such report, on (i) any suspected offense, offense for which
any charge has been filed, or offense that is subject to investigation,
that was committed by a student enrolled at the school if the offense
would be a felony if committed by an adult or would be a violation
of the Drug Control Act and occurred on a school bus, on school property,
or at a school-sponsored activity, or would be an adult misdemeanor
involving certain enumerated incidents, and (ii) whether the student
is released to the custody of his parent or, if 18 years of age or
older, is released on bond. Current law does not require such reports
to be in writing and only applies to student offenses but does not
specify whether such reports are required to be made for student
offenses that are suspected, charged, or subject to investigation.
