MD SB386

Expands the definition of "reportable offense" by removing the requirement that the offense occurred off school premises and not at a school-sponsored event, meaning schools will now be notified of qualifying offenses regardless of location

Requires the Department of Juvenile Services to notify local superintendents and school principals when an intake officer proposes an informal adjustment or denies authorization to file a petition for a reportable offense

Reportable offenses include crimes of violence, weapons violations, drug offenses, arson, gang-related crimes, and sexual offenses as defined in Maryland Criminal Law Article
