Statesman Journal -- June 15, 2009
With a few strokes of multiple pens, Gov. Ted Kulongoski has signed into law two bills affecting children.
House Bill 2599 requires school districts to be more specific in anti-bullying policies, which a 2001 law requires them to have.
The new law streamlines the complaint process, encourages training for school employees and modifies the definition of bullying.
It prohibits bullying based on membership in a protected class, such as race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, familial status, source of income or disability.
