AI Summary
This bill amends the "Governmental Immunity Act" to allow for liability of public universities, colleges, and school districts for criminal sexual misconduct committed by their employees or agents during the course of employment or service. Specifically, the bill states that these entities are not immune from tort liability if they were negligent in hiring, supervising, or training the individual, or if they had knowledge of the misconduct and failed to report it to law enforcement. The bill applies retroactively and does not require a criminal conviction for the misconduct. The bill is tied to the passage of another bill, Senate Bill 1187.
