SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Assemblymember Nora Campos (D-San José) today will present her Cyber Bullying Bill to the Senate Education Committee.  AB 746 makes simple updates and clarifies that posts made on social network sites are covered under the Education Code anti-bullying provisions.

"The increase in popularity of social networks has also brought an increase in abuse.  Many young people have committed suicide because they were bullied on social networks," Campos said. "These tragedies show the need for this legislation."

AB 746 enjoyed bipartisan support on the Assembly floor, as well as that of law enforcement, teachers and the Parent Teacher Association, and has no registered opposition.
