SF 2482 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Certain higher education provisions modifications

This bill modifies Minnesota's campus sexual misconduct grievance procedures for higher education institutions. It requires colleges to provide impartial investigations, offer supportive academic measures (like class extensions), and use the "preponderance of the evidence" standard for student cases. Key changes include restricting questions about a reporting party's past sexual behavior unless directly relevant to consent or proving another person's involvement, and mandating simultaneous outcome delivery to both parties with 24-hour notice. The bill directly affects all Minnesota public and private colleges and their students involved in sexual misconduct complaints.
