AI Summary

This bill amends Georgia's laws to require postsecondary institutions (including universities, technical colleges, and certain private colleges) to promptly report any felony crimes committed by students on campus to law enforcement. It also allows the institutions to pursue internal disciplinary actions against students for code of conduct violations, but prohibits them from taking such actions without due process protections for the accused student or without the participation of the victim in cases of alleged sexual assault. The bill aims to establish procedures for reporting and investigating certain crimes at postsecondary institutions in Georgia.
