In September 2011, the state of New Jersey enforced the most stringent bullying law in the country. Each school had to report each case of bullying to the state. The state then grades each school based on bullying standards, policies, and incidents. The California Safe place to learn act is a law against bullying. There is a plan in place if the harassment does occur.

The Michigan Compiled Laws Chapter 380 section 131ob addresses bullying. Under this law, bullying is seen as an act that intends to harm one or more students indirectly. Massachusetts General Laws chapter 71, section 370, covers harassment in schools. Every state in the US has passed rulings that are designed to combat and hopefully eliminate bullying in schools.
