The bill allows for student expulsion for engaging in bullying, inciting violence, or distributing intimate visual material without consent. It mandates school districts to develop policies addressing cyberbullying, including anonymous reporting and annual student surveys. Programs developed by the Texas Education Agency must cover legal consequences, potential negative effects, and the unique characteristics of the internet.
