## Summary

**This bill would expand the Clery Act to require stronger campus safety reporting and survivor-centered services.** It would add detailed public crime metrics, create campus sexual and interpersonal violence (CSIV) specialists, standardize disciplinary processes, and increase Department of Education transparency and technical support. - Students and survivors would gain designated CSIV specialists for confidential, trauma-informed support, optional anonymous reporting, and amnesty protections. Training materials for specialists must be developed within 1 year and institution-wide training must follow per the Secretary's schedule. - Colleges receiving federal funds must publish clear, multilingual campus safety information online, disclose memoranda of understanding with law enforcement, and add new crime categories plus detailed metrics to annual security reports one year after enactment. - Schools must use uniform, campus-wide disciplinary processes, train Title IX and grievance staff in trauma-informed procedures, and keep specialists separate from investigators and Title IX coordinators. - Noncompliant institutions can face civil penalties up to 1 percent of their operating budget per year. The bill adds sexual harassment to DOJ campus violence grants and requires a GAO report within 2 years.

## Provisions PRIA read

Specialists could not be undergraduate or full‑time graduate students, Title IX coordinators, campus security authorities, or certain responsible employees. They would…
- Uniform campus discipline and amnesty: benefit, medium. If enacted, each college would have to use the same campus disciplinary process for domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, sexual harassment, and stalking on a given campus. Colleges could not vary the process by a student's status or require notifying or cooperating with police to tak…
- Campus grants to cover sexual harassment: benefit, low. If enacted, federal campus‑violence grants would explicitly include sexual harassment alongside sexual assault as eligible work. That would let grant programs cover harassment prevention and response on campuses. The bill text does not set aside new funding or say how much grant money would increas…
- More public campus safety data: benefit, low. If enacted, eligible colleges would expand their annual campus safety reports starting with the report due one year after enactment.

- Fines for college rule violations: mixed, medium. If enacted, the Secretary could fine a college up to 1 percent of its operating budget for each year the college fails to meet specified requirements.
