The proposed bill aims to enhance the protection of student victims of sexual offenses in North Dakota schools by establishing a new section in chapter 15.1-19 of the North Dakota Century Code. It introduces the term "responsible student" to refer to a student who has been adjudicated as a juvenile or convicted as an adult for committing a sexual offense against another student. The bill outlines the responsibilities of schools to develop safety plans that include measures such as no contact between the responsible student and the victim, proper separation in educational settings, and the consideration of the victim's input.

Additionally, the bill mandates that schools create a safety plan for the responsible student, which may involve transferring the student to alternative education programs or other schools, and conducting scheduled reviews of the safety plan to ensure the victim's ongoing safety. It also stipulates that upon adjudication or conviction, relevant court findings must be communicated to the school superintendent, while maintaining the confidentiality of the victim's identity unless consent is given. The bill emphasizes the importance of the victim's well-being and input in determining the duration and specifics of the safety measures implemented.
