This bill amends Chapter 5, Title 33 of the Idaho Code by adding a new section, 33-512E, which establishes provisions regarding inappropriate online behavior by students towards public school employees and others. The bill defines "inappropriate online behavior" as any online communication that harasses, threatens, or bullies public school employees or other individuals, regardless of when or where it occurs. It mandates that any such behavior be reported to the school district or public charter school governing board for investigation and potential disciplinary action.

The bill outlines the process for addressing reports of inappropriate online behavior, including the investigation procedures and the requirement to notify the parents or guardians of the involved student. If the governing board determines that inappropriate behavior occurred, it is tasked with imposing appropriate disciplinary measures, which may include warnings, participation in awareness programs, or even expulsion. Additionally, the bill clarifies that affected individuals retain the right to pursue other legal remedies. An emergency clause is included, making the act effective on July 1, 2025.
