At a ceremony Wednesday at Carson Middle School in Carson City, Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval signed anti-bullying legislation into law, Senate Bill 504. Sandoval was joined by members of the Legislature, State school Superintendent Dale Erquiaga and 8th grade students.
The legislation revises the definition of bullying and creates a separate anti-bullying office, The Office of Safe and Respectful Learning, within the Nevada Department of Education. It also aims to strengthen reporting requirements for bullying incidents, and creates a 24-hour hotline and a website for submitting complaints.
