	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 800, Washington.  Pupil safety:   injurious objects.
   Under existing law there are various provisions relating to pupil
safety, including provisions providing that if a school employee
initially notifies a law enforcement agency regarding a student or
adult who possesses an injurious object while upon school premises or
while under the authority of school personnel, the employee may not
be subject to any civil or administrative proceeding, including any
disciplinary action, for violation of any local policy or procedure
relating to the notification of a law enforcement agency.
   This bill would require the Superintendent of Public Instruction
to adopt a system that will shield the identity and provide
protection to pupils who report the presence of injurious objects on
school campuses that offer instruction in kindergarten and any of
grades 1 to 12, inclusive.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 49335 is added to the Education Code, to read:

   49335.  On or before April 1, 2001, the Superintendent of Public
Instruction shall adopt a system that will shield the identity and
provide protection to pupils who report the presence of injurious
objects on school campuses that offer instruction in kindergarten and
any of grades 1 to 12, inclusive.
