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 individuals associated with public schools, 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 reported incidents, including the investigation of claims, notification of parents or guardians, and the imposition of disciplinary measures if the claims are substantiated. Disciplinary actions may range from warnings to expulsion, depending on the severity of the behavior. 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.
