The Keeping All Students Safe Act (S. 3448 / H.R. 6617) was introduced on December 11, 2025 by Senators Sanders (I-VT), Murray (D-WA), and Murphy (D-CT) and Representatives Beyer (D-VA), Scott (D-VA), and Hamadeh (R-AZ). This bill would prohibit the use of mechanical restraint, chemical restraint, and seclusion. KASSA will also limit instances in which physical restraint can be used, allowing it only when there is an imminent threat of physical harm to others in the classroom. This bill will direct the Department of Education to give grants to state education agencies to provide training to faculty on alternatives to restraint and seclusion, and to collect more data.
