The General Assembly Raised Bill No. 7100 aims to enhance the transparency and support provided by institutions of higher education regarding Title IX proceedings related to sexual assault, stalking, and intimate partner violence. The bill mandates that each institution adopt and disclose specific policies in their annual uniform campus crime report. These policies must include clear definitions and standards for affirmative consent, procedures for reporting incidents, access to support services, and the rights of victims. Notably, the bill introduces a new provision that allows victims who are not students or employees of the institution to report incidents and participate in investigations.

Additionally, the bill modifies existing legal language by repealing subsection (b) of section 10a-55m and replacing it with updated requirements that emphasize the importance of informing victims about their rights and the institution's procedures. Key insertions include the obligation to notify victims of the results of disciplinary proceedings and to ensure that the identity of parties involved in investigations is protected, except as necessary for the proceedings. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and aims to create a more supportive environment for victims of sexual misconduct in higher education settings.
