North Carolina H872 protects school employees from liability for using reasonable force in specific situations.

North Carolina H872 increases protections for school employees who use reasonable force in situations such as correcting students, quelling disturbances, obtaining dangerous objects, self-defense, and maintaining order. The bill presumes the use of force is reasonable unless proven otherwise, protects employees from civil liability, and prevents reprimand or dismissal for using force in accordance with state law. It also shields employees from license revocation or denial based on assault allegations if the force used was reasonable and did not result in a conviction.
