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 are tasked with providing resources related to reporting sexual misconduct, legal services, and supportive measures, and must undergo annual training on trauma-informed responses. Institutions are also mandated to prepare and publish reports on the outcomes of their Title IX offices and the performance of the confidential resource advisors, with penalties for non-compliance.

In addition to establishing these advisors, the bill introduces amnesty protections for students reporting sexual misconduct, ensuring they are not penalized for violations of conduct policies related to drug or alcohol use during the incident. It requires all undergraduate students to complete two trauma-informed sexual misconduct awareness trainings and outlines comprehensive training requirements for staff and students on topics such as consent and evidence preservation. The bill sets minimum criteria for institutional policies, mandates data reporting every three years, and grants enforcement authority to the Higher Education Licensure Commission to impose civil fines for non-compliance. The act is scheduled to take effect on June 30, 2026, with specific provisions for the University of the District of Columbia.
