This bill establishes a committee dedicated to studying the issue of school bullying, which will consist of one member from the Senate and three members from the House of Representatives. The committee is tasked with exploring means to prevent bullying in schools and is required to report its findings and any legislative recommendations by November 1, 2026. Members of the committee will receive mileage compensation for their duties, and a quorum will be established with three members present.

Additionally, the bill modifies existing laws regarding educator certification records and the assignment of personnel for superintendent services. Specifically, it changes the terminology in RSA 91-A:5, V from "teacher" to "educator," ensuring that certification status information remains accessible. Furthermore, it amends RSA 194-C:4-a to allow both the superintendent and the school board to assign personnel to perform superintendent services, broadening the authority for such assignments. The act will take effect upon its passage.
