Governor Signs Seth's Law October 10th, 2011

Governor Brown signed into law last night Seth's Law, a bill that will improve
school procedures and policies to prevent bullying in California schools. A very timely signature, as October is National Bullying Prevention Month.

Congratulations to YO! members who educated policy makers about the impact of bullying on youth with disabilities. Your letters, emails and visits ensured that youth with disabilities were included in this new law.

California Assemblyman Tom Ammiano introduced the legislation "As a former teacher, I know how important it is for our students to feel safe at school," Ammiano said in a statement after the state Senate passed the bill. "We have a moral duty to our youth to prevent bullying … before a tragedy occurs."
