House Bill No. 7100 requires institutions of higher education in the state to disclose critical information to victims involved in Title IX proceedings concerning sexual assault, stalking, and intimate partner violence. The bill repeals and replaces subsection (b) of section 10a-55m of the general statutes, effective July 1, 2025. Key provisions include mandates for institutions to adopt and disclose policies on affirmative consent, reporting procedures, support service contacts, and victims' rights. The bill clarifies that consent must be affirmative, can be revoked at any time, and that past relationships do not determine consent. It also introduces a new provision allowing victims who are not students or employees to report incidents and participate in the institution's investigation and disciplinary process.

Furthermore, the bill removes certain language regarding employee investigation procedures and adds a requirement for institutions to inform victims about the range of sanctions that may be imposed following disciplinary actions. It ensures that non-affiliated victims receive written results of any disciplinary hearing, aligning with the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). The bill emphasizes the development of these policies using existing resources, indicating no fiscal impact on the state or municipalities. Overall, HB 7100 aims to enhance transparency and support for all victims of violent crimes within higher education institutions, ensuring access to necessary resources and information during Title IX proceedings.
