Requires institutions of higher education to adopt affirmative consent standard and other policies regarding sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking.

This New Jersey bill (S 2219) requires all colleges and universities receiving state student aid funds to adopt specific policies addressing sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. It mandates an "affirmative consent" standard - requiring clear, ongoing agreement for sexual activity, not just absence of resistance - and prohibits excuses like intoxication or failing to verify consent. Institutions must also use a "more likely than not" standard in disciplinary cases, provide victim-centered support including privacy protections, and implement campus-wide prevention programs and trauma-informed staff training. These requirements apply directly to higher education institutions seeking state financial aid for student programs.
