The bill amends section 79-2704 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska to further prohibit corporal punishment in schools. It introduces new requirements for memoranda of understanding regarding the use of school resource officers or security guards. Specifically, it mandates that these officers and guards must not subject any student to corporal punishment, as defined in section 79-295. Additionally, the bill outlines various training requirements for school resource officers, including topics such as school law, student rights, and conflict de-escalation techniques.

Furthermore, the bill maintains existing provisions while renumbering them to accommodate the new insertion. It emphasizes the importance of record-keeping for student referrals to law enforcement, parental notification policies, and the establishment of a complaint process for students and parents regarding the conduct of school resource officers. The original section 79-2704 is repealed, indicating a comprehensive update to the regulations governing school resource officers and their interactions with students.
