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 contact information, and victims' rights. The bill clarifies that affirmative consent must be obtained from all parties involved in sexual activity and that previous relationships do not imply consent.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new provision allowing victims who are not students or employees of the institution to report incidents of sexual assault, stalking, or intimate partner violence committed by a student or employee. This provision includes procedures for these victims to engage in the institution's investigation and disciplinary processes, as well as the right to receive written results of any disciplinary hearing, in compliance with the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). The bill also removes certain language regarding employee investigation procedures and requires institutions to inform victims of potential sanctions following disciplinary actions. Overall, the bill aims to enhance transparency and support for all victims within higher education institutions without imposing any fiscal impact on the state or municipalities.
