The bill amends the Campus Accountability and Safety Act by updating definitions related to "power-based violence" and enhancing safety education requirements for educational institutions. The definition of "power-based violence" is expanded to include various forms of conduct intended to control or intimidate individuals based on sex, and it now explicitly includes acts involving artificial intelligence or deepfake media depicting sexual imagery. Additionally, the bill clarifies the types of violence and harassment that fall under this category, such as dating violence, domestic abuse, sexual assault, and stalking.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that institutions provide safety education to students at least four times per academic year, starting in 2026. This education must cover the identification and prevention of power-based violence, reporting procedures for incidents, and resources for campus safety. The information will be distributed during new student orientation and made accessible on the institution's website. If the student is a minor, the information must also be provided to their parent or legal guardian. The bill emphasizes the importance of updating this information in consultation with local law enforcement agencies.
