Adds to existing law to establish provisions regarding immunity of behavioral threat assessment and management teams in Idaho public schools.

The State Board of Education strives to prevent targeted violence against self or others in schools through the use of behavioral threat assessment and management teams in school districts and public charter schools. The proposed legislation would codify the establishment of Behavioral Threat Assessment and Management Teams (BTAM) in K-12 schools. This legislation would also establish model guidelines and provide training for local BTAM teams based on best practices. Finally, it would ensure that teams established, trained, and that acted in good faith and substantial conformance with the model guidelines and the legislation not be held liable for a failure to prevent an act of violence.
