HB 4990 would amend the Preventing Sexual Violence in Higher Education Act to add key updates and increased protections for survivors of gender-based violence. The bill has four areas of focus:
- Addressing protections against student-on-student sexual harassment, including protections against digital sexual harassment;
- Ensuring survivors are allowed both a support person and a complaint advisor during complaint proceedings;
- Requiring an update to existing policies to strengthen anti-retaliation protections and clarify the availability of supportive and protective measures for survivors;
- Giving survivors legal recourse against a higher education institution that acts with deliberate indifference to the law or a survivor's safety.
Thank you,
