The bill amends and reenacts specific sections of Louisiana's Revised Statutes regarding the prevention of power-based violence in public postsecondary education institutions. It establishes new requirements for written incident reports to be submitted by Title IX coordinators to the institution's chancellor on a biannual basis, specifically by October 10 and April 10. The reports must include details about investigations, disciplinary processes, complaints of retaliation, and their statuses. Additionally, the chancellor is required to report to the institution's management board within fourteen days of receiving the Title IX report, detailing the number of complaints received, findings, and actions taken.
Furthermore, the bill introduces new reporting requirements for management boards, which must send an annual incident report to the Board of Regents by December 31 and an annual training report by January 30. The training report will include data on the number of employees and advisors who have completed required training. The Board of Regents, in consultation with the Louisiana Power-Based Violence Review Panel, is tasked with submitting an annual report to key state officials by February 28, which will encompass system-wide and statewide information, along with legislative recommendations. The bill aims to enhance transparency and accountability in addressing power-based violence in educational institutions.
