SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Student Disciplinary Fairness Act of 
2013''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Too many juveniles are introduced to the formal 
        criminal justice system for minor behavioral infractions at 
        school.
            (2) Common behavioral infractions at school often result in 
        suspension, expulsion, or incarceration of the juvenile 
        students involved.
            (3) Zero-tolerance school discipline policies increase the 
        number of incarcerated juveniles.
            (4) Research shows that juveniles who are incarcerated are 
        significantly less likely to complete secondary school, 
        experience less human capital development and diminished 
        earnings potential, and are more likely to recidivate and be 
        incarcerated as adults.

U.S.C. 5601 et seq.) is amended by inserting after title V the
