The proposed "Anti-Hazing Act" establishes new legal definitions and penalties related to hazing in educational institutions. It defines hazing as intentional or reckless acts that cause physical or psychological harm during initiation or membership in student organizations. The act categorizes hazing offenses into misdemeanors and felonies based on the severity of harm caused, with specific penalties for actions resulting in death or significant injury. Additionally, it mandates that individuals in positions of authority, such as faculty and administrators, must report any hazing incidents they are aware of, with failure to do so also constituting a misdemeanor.

Furthermore, the act creates a civil cause of action for victims of hazing, allowing them to seek damages from participants, organizations, and institutions that fail to prevent hazing. It requires post-secondary educational institutions to implement a code of conduct prohibiting hazing, provide educational programs on hazing prevention, and establish a hazing prevention committee that includes students and staff. The act also stipulates that organizations found to have engaged in hazing may lose official recognition and that individuals involved in hazing may forfeit access to state-funded educational benefits.
