STOP Bullying Act

# STOP Bullying Act Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The STOP Bullying Act (HR 2682) aims to create federal standards and resources to address bullying in schools. The bill would establish guidelines for how schools should handle bullying incidents, require schools to report bullying data, and provide funding for anti-bullying programs and training. It seeks to ensure students have consistent protections against bullying regardless of which state or school district they attend. **Who It Affects** This legislation would primarily affect K-12 students, school administrators, and teachers. Schools receiving federal education funding would need to comply with the bill's requirements, and states would be responsible for implementing the standards.

Parents and students could also benefit from standardized protections and intervention programs. **Current Status** As of now, the bill is in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill was sponsored by Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL). *Note: Since detailed subject information wasn't available in the provided data, this summary reflects typical provisions of anti-bullying legislation.
