Version:

Existing law authorizes an educational provider, as defined, to use behavioral restraints, which include physical and mechanical restraints, or seclusion, as defined, only if specified conditions are met. Existing law prohibits an educational provider from using a behavioral restraint or seclusion in certain circumstances. Existing law requires a local educational agency that meets a specified federal definition to collect and, by no later than 3 months after the end of a school year, report to the State Department of Education annually on the use of behavioral restraints and seclusion for pupils enrolled in, or served by, the local educational agency for all or part of the prior school year, as specified.

This bill would require such a local educational agency to annually post their report on their internet website. By imposing additional duties on those local educational agencies, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
