Bill Summary

AN ACT relating to a public institution of higher education's sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking resources and policy orientation.

AI Summary

This bill requires public higher education institutions in Texas to enhance their sexual assault and support resources by mandating that entering freshman and undergraduate transfer students attend an orientation on sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking policies. The orientation must now include a specific video detailing the names and contact information of the institution's Title IX coordinators, the services provided by the Title IX office, instructions on reporting sexual assault, information about crime victims' compensation, and a list of support organizations for sexual assault survivors. Additionally, the bill requires student identification cards to include the contact information for the National Sexual Assault Hotline, alongside existing contact information for suicide prevention resources. These changes will be implemented beginning with the 2025-2026 academic year for the orientation requirement and immediately for student ID card modifications. The bill aims to improve awareness and support for students dealing with sexual violence by providing more comprehensive and readily accessible information about resources and reporting mechanisms.
