The Louisiana House of Representatives is considering a bill that would require dating violence education for students in grades 7-12. <\/span>The bill requires schools to teach students the <\/span>definition of dating violence<\/a>, warning signs of abuse and the <\/span>characteristics of healthy relationships.<\/span><\/p>\n

If passed, the bill, proposed by Representative Nita Hutter, would go into effect in July, 2010. We thank Representative Hutter for her commitment to ending dating violence in her community.<\/p>\n
