AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.

Under current Utah law, school districts are required to have policies for responding to students who have committed serious offenses or sexual crimes. This bill updates that requirement by clarifying that those policies apply not only after a formal conviction or court finding, but also when a student has been arrested for or charged with such an offense — and it adds definitions to make clear how those terms apply differently to minor students versus adult students 18 and older. School districts' policies must also include procedures for placing a student in an alternative school setting if that student attends the same school as a victim or someone who holds a protective order against them.
