The "Anti-Bullying" legislative campaign in Massachusetts Legislature

POSTED: December 2, 2009  UPDATED: April 18, 2010

STATUS: The House version (H4571) and Senate version (S2323) have both passed, but are quite different. They are currently in a 6-person "conference committee" which will merge them into one bill, and send that bill back to both houses for passage and then to the Governor. 

Here are the latest postings:
