This bill proposes the creation of a new section in chapter 15.1-19 of the North Dakota Century Code aimed at enhancing the protection of student victims of sexual offenses. It defines key terms such as "responsible student," referring to those adjudicated or convicted of sexual offenses against other students, and "sexual offense," which encompasses specific crimes outlined in chapter 12.1-20. The bill mandates that schools develop a safety plan for the victim, which may include measures such as no contact between the responsible student and the victim, expulsion hearings, and potential transfers to alternative education programs or different schools.

Additionally, the bill outlines the factors that schools must consider when determining the duration of any separation between the responsible student and the victim, including the victim's well-being and the nature of the offense. It also allows victims or their guardians to request reviews of the safety plan. Furthermore, upon the adjudication or conviction of a responsible student, the juvenile court or state's attorney is required to provide the school district with relevant documentation, ensuring that the victim's identity remains confidential.
