COLLEGES/UNIVERSITIES: Provides relative to the prevention of power-based violence in public postsecondary education institutions. (gov sig)
This bill requires public colleges and universities to take specific actions to prevent power-based violence on campus. It mandates that institutions establish reporting systems, send data to the State Board of Education, and submit annual reports to the Regents. The text adds the word "shall" to various sections to make these reporting and prevention requirements mandatory rather than optional. By enforcing these steps, the law aims to create a structured approach for schools to address violence without changing the core definition of the issue.
