This bill expands the scope of the Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act to include incidents of gang bullying, which is defined as a coordinated and repeated pattern of harassment or intimidation carried out by two or more students against another student. The definition encompasses various forms of bullying, including organized targeting, group harassment, and cyberbullying, and notably does not require that the conduct be motivated by any specific protected characteristic such as race, gender, or disability.

The bill stipulates that the provisions of the Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act will apply to gang bullying incidents that occur on school property, at school-sponsored events, or on school buses, as well as off school grounds if a school employee is made aware of the actions. This change aims to ensure that all forms of bullying, particularly those involving groups, are addressed under existing anti-bullying laws, thereby enhancing protections for students in various environments.
