Revises provisions relating to the crime of hazing. (BDR 15-1043)

SB 238 increases penalties for hazing that occurs on college or university property in Nevada, raising it from a misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor to a category E felony. The bill defines hazing as intentionally or recklessly endangering another person's physical health to join a student group - such as through physical brutality, forced calisthenics, or consumption of substances - and explicitly states that a victim's consent cannot be used as a defense. It applies directly to individuals committing hazing on campus, including fraternity/sorority activities, and excludes school-approved athletic or academic practices. This law aims to strengthen legal consequences for campus hazing incidents while clarifying prohibited conduct.
