2007 House Bill 4162 ↩

House Roll Call 71: The amendment was not adopted

To strike out a reference to the provision in the <a href="http://www.michigan.gov/documents/mde/SBE_Model_AntiBullying_Policy_Revised_9.8_172355_7.pdf">model anti-bullying policy</a> adopted the state board of education on Sept. 12, 2006, which defines bullying or harassment as actions motivated by an individual’s race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression; or a mental, physical, sensory disability or impairment, or by any other distinguishing characteristic. Instead, to specify that bullying is prohibited when motivated by an distinguishing characteristic or a individual’s association with another person. Note: This and the other amendment votes on this bill were actually on the parliamentary issue of whether to allow them to be considered on “third reading,” which explains the consistent party line votes.
