While hundreds of bills are headed to the governor’s desk, several key measures debated during this spring’s legislative session failed to move forward and will be put off to future months or years.
Senate Bill 939 sponsored by Republican Senator Steve McClure would have required students who initiate sexual assault to be expelled for at least one year and at least six months for initiating non-consensual sexual acts at school, school property such as buses, and school-related events.
The bill was filed last year after an incident in Taylorville.
The bill passed the Senate in May 48-3, with two voting present, but never progressed in the House where it is only sponsored by Republicans.
