S 3065 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires reporting and investigation of alleged incidents of sexual harassment and sexual violence at institutions of higher education and requires institutions to provide employee training on such reports.

This bill requires New Jersey public and private colleges and universities receiving state operating aid to implement specific measures regarding sexual harassment and violence. It mandates annual training for designated "responsible employees" (including faculty, campus police, administrators, health staff, and resident advisors) on how to respond to student reports, disclose confidentiality limits to victims, and report incidents to institutional authorities. The training covers reporting requirements for incidents occurring on campus, at institution-related off-campus events, or via electronic communication during school activities. Institutions must investigate all reported incidents and take appropriate action to resolve them.
