H.R. 5646, the bipartisan Stop Campus Hazing Act combats hazing and dangerous practices towards students on college campuses by ensuring transparency and preventative action. “I know what it's like to lose a loved one to violence—no parent should ever have to bury their child. The Stop Campus Hazing Act empowers students and their families to make informed decisions about the schools they attend and the organizations they join. That information could be life-saving,” said Representative McBath. “Our bipartisan legislation helps make sure that schools have the tools they need to foster safe learning environments. I thank my colleagues for this bipartisan effort and President Biden for swiftly passing this into law.” Background The bipartisan Stop Campus Hazing Act: Defines Hazing and Promotes Transparency: This bill creates a uniform definition of hazing and requires colleges and universities to report hazing incidents annually. Strengthens Prevention Efforts: Schools are mandated to implement hazing prevention programs aimed at educating students, faculty, and staff. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:07:19Z |
