KY SR111

Honors the tenth anniversary of 2016 Senate Bill 228, which established Kentucky's first statewide definition of bullying as "any unwanted verbal, physical, or social behavior among students that involves a real or perceived power imbalance and is repeated or has the potential to be repeated"

Kentucky Youth Bullying Prevention Task Force was appointed in 2014 to study bullying issues and recommended creating a clear definition to address inconsistent understanding, reporting, and data collection

The 2016 law protects more than 640,000 Kentucky public school students annually and has benefited approximately 1.2 million students over the past decade

Directs the Clerk of the Senate to transmit a copy of the resolution to Senator Danny Carroll
