Summary

The bill requires the safe2tell program (safe2tell) to provide a handle-with-care notice to a school when a student has had an adverse childhood experience beginning with the 2026-27 school year, for students enrolled in a school in a small rural school district; beginning with the 2027-28 school year, for students enrolled in a small rural school district or a large rural school district; and beginning with the 2028-29 school year, for students enrolled in any school statewide. A peace officer who responds to an incident that is an adverse childhood experience shall may report to safe2tell the name and age of the child involved in the incident or provide information to the child's parent or guardian about how to inform the school through safe2tell . Upon receipt of a report, safe2tell shall send a handle-with-care notice to the child's school that includes only the child's name and the phrase "handle with care". A school shall only share the notice with school staff who need to know about the notice. Other than notifying school staff, a school is not required to take any action with respect to the notice. The bill expressly includes personal data as a "material" for the purposes of safe2tell.
