B. Any locality may by ordinance require any minor student who has been expelled from public school attendance for disciplinary reasons and who is not enrolled in an alternative education program pursuant to § 22.1-277.1 to remain at home, at a child-care facility, with a child-care provider who has been approved by the student’s parent, as defined in § 22.1-1, or at such student’s or parent’s place of employment during regular school hours. Any law-enforcement officer or other individual authorized to enforce the provisions of an ordinance regarding such disciplined students shall not be liable for any civil damages for any acts or omissions resulting from enforcing such ordinance when such acts or omissions are within the scope of the employment of such law-enforcement officer or individual and are taken in good faith, unless such acts or omissions were the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct. This section shall not be construed to limit, withdraw or overturn any defense or immunity already existing in statutory or common law or to affect any claim occurring prior to the effective date of this law.
