HR 2421 United States House · 118th Congress

Safe Equitable Campus Resources and Education Act of 2023

HR 2421 amends the Clery Act to require colleges and universities receiving federal funding to make campus security reports, emergency procedures, and complaint processes accessible to students and staff with disabilities. Key provisions include mandating reports in accessible formats (like braille or sign language), ensuring emergency plans accommodate disabilities, requiring staff training on disability inclusion, and guaranteeing accessible complaint investigations and accommodations. The bill directly affects campus security policies and procedures at institutions covered by the Higher Education Act, with specific focus on students and staff who are blind, deaf, or have cognitive, intellectual, or communication disabilities. These changes aim to ensure equal access to safety resources and processes for all campus members.
