The bill amends the "Student Safety Act" by updating definitions and establishing a clearer framework for reporting safety concerns within schools. It defines key terms such as "Department," "Fund," "Hotline," "School," "School employee," "School property," and "School student." Notably, it introduces the term "Tip," which refers to reports or information from the public regarding potential self-harm, harm, or criminal acts directed at school students, employees, or schools. This information can be reported through the hotline, the 9-1-1 system, or other reporting systems.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the amendments will not take effect unless House Bill No. 4258 is enacted into law. This conditional enactment ensures that the changes to the definitions and reporting mechanisms are aligned with broader legislative efforts aimed at enhancing student safety in Michigan schools.
