This bill mandates that each school district in Alaska adopt a policy to prohibit harassment, intimidation, and bullying, with a specific focus on addressing digital harassment and nonconsensual digital impersonation. The bill amends existing laws to require that these policies be shared with parents, guardians, students, volunteers, and school employees. Additionally, the Department of Education is tasked with providing model policies and training materials that include components related to digital harassment and nonconsensual digital impersonation.

Furthermore, the bill establishes reporting requirements for school districts regarding incidents of harassment, intimidation, bullying, and digital impersonation, which must be reported to the department by November 30 each year. It also includes provisions to protect individuals who report such incidents from retaliation and outlines the definition of nonconsensual digital impersonation. The effective date for this legislation is set for January 1, 2027.
