The proposed bill aims to enhance the protection of student victims of sexual assault within North Dakota schools by establishing a new section in chapter 15.1-19 of the North Dakota Century Code. It defines key terms such as "convicted student," referring to those adjudicated delinquent or convicted of sexual assault against another student, and "sexual assault," which aligns with existing legal definitions. The bill mandates that convicted students must adhere to a safety plan developed by the school district, which includes provisions for no contact with the victim and proper separation during educational activities.

Additionally, the bill outlines specific requirements for schools in developing safety plans for convicted students. These plans may involve holding expulsion hearings, transferring the convicted student to alternative education programs or different schools, and ensuring separation from the victim when transfers are not feasible. Furthermore, it requires the state's attorney to notify the school of any relevant court findings upon the adjudication or conviction of a student. This legislation seeks to create a safer educational environment for victims of sexual assault while ensuring due process for the accused.
