Ind. Law - "A little scary" writes reader

A reader has called the ILB's attention to HB 1169, which passed House third reading yesterday with a vote of 72-22. Here is the complete text:

    SECTION 1. IC 20-33-8-15, AS ADDED BY P.L.1-2005,
SECTION 17, IS AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE
JULY 1, 2012]: Sec. 15. In addition to the grounds specified in section
14 of this chapter, a student may be suspended or expelled for engaging
in unlawful activity on or off school grounds if:

        (1) the unlawful activity may reasonably be considered to be an
interference with school purposes or an educational function; or

        (2) the student's removal is necessary to restore order or protect
persons on school property;

including an unlawful activity during weekends, holidays, other school
breaks, and the summer period when a student may not be attending
classes or other school functions.

Here is the rollcall.
