The proposed "Anti-Hazing Act" establishes new legal definitions and penalties related to hazing at public and private educational institutions. It defines hazing as intentional or reckless acts that cause physical or psychological harm during initiation or membership activities 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, 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 failed to prevent hazing. It requires post-secondary 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 faculty. The act also stipulates that individuals and organizations found guilty of hazing may lose eligibility for state-funded grants and official recognition from educational institutions.
