Additionally, the legislation stipulates that no records of this information will be maintained, protecting the privacy of the involved juveniles and ensuring that the information is not used for disciplinary actions in schools.

The bill emphasizes the importance of supporting juveniles through tailored programs by encouraging collaboration between law enforcement and educational institutions.
