The bill amends Section 12-15-217 of the Code of Alabama 1975 to enhance the notification process regarding juvenile offenders enrolled in K-12 schools. It mandates that written notification be sent to the local superintendent of education or the principal of a private school when a child is charged with or adjudicated delinquent for committing certain serious offenses, including capital offenses such as murder and first-degree rape. Additionally, the bill allows for notification in cases where a child is charged with any act that would be considered a crime if committed by an adult. The notification must occur within seven days of the charge or adjudication.

The bill also introduces several changes to the existing legal language. It replaces the requirement for written notice with a provision that the juvenile court must provide written notice, and it clarifies that the notice should include a brief description of the offenses committed by the child. Furthermore, it allows the principal to disseminate the information to relevant school staff as deemed necessary for the child's rehabilitation and the protection of other students. The confidentiality of the information is emphasized, with penalties for intentional violations of these provisions classified as a Class A misdemeanor. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2025.
