Requires institution of higher education to report allegation of sexual misconduct by health care professional to licensing board for investigation.

This New Jersey bill (A2303) requires colleges and universities to report any allegations of sexual misconduct committed by health care professionals (such as nurses or therapists) who work at the institution to the state licensing board that oversees their profession. The licensing board must then investigate the allegation to determine if disciplinary action - like suspending the professional’s license - is needed. Institutions reporting in good faith are protected from civil lawsuits, and the bill does not prevent schools from conducting their own internal investigations or reporting crimes to police. The policy directly affects higher education institutions and state licensing boards, focusing on ensuring professional accountability without altering existing school disciplinary processes.
