The Institution of Higher Education Sexual Misconduct Reporting and Resource Accessibility Act of 2025 requires higher education institutions in the District of Columbia to employ at least two confidential resource advisors to assist students and employees affected by sexual misconduct. These advisors will provide essential resources, including information on reporting options and legal services, and must be trained in trauma-informed responses. The bill mandates annual training for all personnel involved in sexual misconduct investigations and disciplinary processes, and institutions must publish reports on the outcomes of their Title IX offices and resource advisors. Additionally, the act introduces amnesty protections for students reporting sexual misconduct, ensuring they are not penalized for related violations of student conduct policies.

The legislation also establishes comprehensive training and policy requirements for institutions regarding sexual misconduct prevention and response. It mandates training on topics such as consent and the effects of substances on consent, while ensuring that accessible prevention materials are provided. Institutions must submit and publish reports on sexual misconduct outcomes every three years, maintaining confidentiality for those involved. Enforcement mechanisms are included, allowing the Higher Education Licensure Commission to impose civil fines on non-compliant institutions. The act is set to take effect on June 30, 2026, with specific provisions for the University of the District of Columbia.
