Relating to a public institution of higher education's orientation on the institution's sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking policy.
HB 5631 requires public Texas colleges to provide new undergraduate students (freshmen and transfer students) with an orientation about campus policies on sexual harassment, assault, dating violence, and stalking before or during their first semester. The orientation must include a video listing Title IX coordinators' names and contact details, the location of the Title IX office, and specific policy statements. Institutions may offer the orientation online, but it must cover these required elements. The law applies starting with the 2025-2026 academic year.
