SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as ‘‘Phylicia’s Law’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) Students achieve their full academic poten-
tial when they have the ability to learn in a safe and 
secure environment. 
(2) Off-campus school trips comprise an inte-
gral part of the educational experience for our Na-
tion’s students. Each year millions of students enjoy 
these trips, which provide them with invaluable 
learning opportunities outside the classroom. 
(3) There exists no Federal law requiring public 
schools to develop safety plans for off-premises, 
overnight, school-sponsored trips. 
SEC. 3. SCHOOL SAFETY PLAN. 
(a) REQUIREMENTS
FOR
LOCAL
EDUCATIONAL 
AGENCIES.—Each local educational agency that receives 
funds under part A of title IV of the Elementary and Sec-
ondary Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 7101 et seq.) 
shall develop and make publicly available a written school 
safety policy for off-premises, overnight field trips. 
(b) GUIDANCE FROM SECRETARY OF EDUCATION.— 
Congress encourages the Secretary of Education to pro-
vide guidance to local educational agencies described in 
subsection (a) by taking the steps necessary, such as

‘‘(ii) make available for graduate 
study student fellowships, with a duration 
of up to five years per student, which— 
‘‘(I) shall include, whenever pos-
sible, at least two summer internships 
at a national laboratory or appro-
priate Federal agency in the field of 
technical nuclear forensics during the 
course of the student’s graduate ca-
reer; and 
‘‘(II) shall require each recipient 
to commit to serve for two years in a

nuclear forensics-related specialty at a

‘‘(iii)

stream; and 
‘‘(iv) place a particular emphasis on 
reinvigorating technical nuclear forensics 
programs, while encouraging the participa-
tion of undergraduate students, graduate
programs and radiochemists in United States Na-
tional Laboratories and universities has dramatically 
declined over the past several decades. The nar-
rowing pipeline of qualified people into this critical 
field is a serious impediment to maintaining a robust 
and credible nuclear forensics program. 
(5) Once samples have been acquired and char-
acterized, it is necessary to compare the results 
against samples of known material from reactors, 
weapons, and enrichment facilities, and from med-
ical, academic, commercial, and other facilities con-
taining such materials, throughout the world. Some 
of these samples are available to the International 
Atomic Energy Agency through safeguards agree-
ments, and some countries maintain internal sample 
databases. Access to samples in many countries is 
limited by national security concerns. 
(6) In order to create a sufficient deterrent, it 
is necessary to have the capability to positively iden-
tify the source of nuclear or radiological material, 
and potential traffickers in nuclear or radiological 
material must be aware of that capability. Inter-
national cooperation may be essential to catalogue 
all existing sources of nuclear or radiological mate-
rial.
