The bill amends existing laws regarding hazing by introducing new definitions and increasing penalties for those involved in hazing activities. It establishes that any organizer or participant in hazing can be charged with a misdemeanor and face fines up to $500 or imprisonment for up to one year. Additionally, school officials, including teachers and coaches, who knowingly permit hazing or negligently fail to take reasonable measures to prevent it can be fined not less than $1,000 or face imprisonment for up to one year. The bill specifies that causing serious bodily injury during hazing can result in imprisonment for up to ten years.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies that consent from individuals subjected to hazing is not a valid defense in legal actions. It introduces definitions for terms such as "hazing," which includes various forms of initiation that endanger physical or mental health; "serious bodily injury," which refers to injuries that create a substantial risk of death or cause serious disfigurement; and "student organization," which encompasses various groups associated with educational institutions. The bill also provides immunity from legal repercussions for individuals who, in good faith and without malice, seek medical assistance for someone harmed by hazing. This legislation aims to strengthen the legal framework surrounding hazing and enhance accountability among those who facilitate or allow such activities.
