HB 51 -- Suspension or Expulsion of Public School Students

Sponsor:  Mayer

Current law permits a school board to suspend a pupil after
notice and a hearing when the pupil has been charged with,
convicted of, or pled guilty to a felony criminal violation.
This bill clarifies that the pupil must have been convicted of a
state or federal felony criminal violation; that an indictment
has been filed alleging the pupil has committed the violation for
which there has been no final judgment; or a petition has been
filed that the pupil committed an act or the pupil has been
adjudicated to have committed an act which, if committed by an
adult, would be a felony criminal violation.  The bill also
removes forcible rape and sodomy from the list of offenses for
which students are precluded from re-admission to school and
substitutes sexual offense and prostitution felonies pursuant to
Chapters 566 and 567, RSMo.
