DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A Senate panel says it will need more time to review proposed changes to a bill aimed at reducing school bullying in Iowa. Members of an education subcommittee discussed the bill Monday but took no formal action. They plan to meet again before deciding whether the bill will advance to a full committee for review.

The legislation would expand how school officials around the state should respond to bullying cases. An amendment discussed Monday would change some language on guidelines for educators looking at why a student might be bullied. It would also create a group of experts who would study the issue. The bill was proposed by Gov. Terry Branstad, who has made anti-bullying legislation a priority this session. Lawmakers failed to agree on a measure last year.
