| 13 | 13 | | Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau |
|---|
| 14 | 14 | | Under current law, it is a Class B misdemeanor for a school or school district |
|---|
| 15 | 15 | | official, employee, or agent to conduct a strip search of a pupil. For purposes of this |
|---|
| 16 | 16 | | prohibition, current law defines a “strip search” to mean a search in which a person's |
|---|
| 17 | 17 | | genitals, pubic area, buttock, or anus, or a female person's breast, is uncovered and |
|---|
| 18 | 18 | | either is exposed to view or is touched by a person conducting the search. This bill |
|---|
| 19 | 19 | | expands this definition to include a search in which a person's naked or |
|---|
| 20 | 20 | | underwear-clad genitalia, anus, buttocks, or female areola or nipple is uncovered |
|---|
| 21 | 21 | | and either is exposed to view or is touched by a person conducting the search. |
|---|
| 22 | 22 | | The bill does not change current law with regard to strip searches conducted |
|---|
| 23 | 23 | | by law enforcement. |
|---|
