Senate Bill 212

Beginning January 1, 2020, faculty and staff who do not report incidents of "sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, or stalking" promptly with the Title IX Office or who file a false report to the Title IX Office concerning the same offenses will have their employment terminated (after due process) and be charged with a misdemeanor criminal offense (either Class A or Class B).

The law has additional safeguards against retaliation for those who report incidents to the Title IX Office in good faith.

The Higher Education Coordinating Board has the authority to fine each institution not in compliance with SB 212 of up to $2M each year.
