Federal Bill HR 1381, (formerly introduced as HR 4247 in 2010) the Keeping All Students Safe Act, was recently reintroduced in the House. Though passed by the House in 2010, the bill was never voted on by the Senate.
This bill will create standards to limit the use of physical restraint and seclusion on children, by establishing safety standards in schools that will be similar to those already set in place by hospitals and other community-based facilities. It also will prohibit mechanical restraints and other restraints that restrict breathing.
