House Bill 1791 amends the Education Code to clarify the applicability of the state's anti-hazing statutes to public and private colleges and universities. The bill provides that those statutes apply to a postsecondary educational institution in the same manner as they apply to a public or private high school, and it defines postsecondary educational institution to include any public, private, or independent college or university or other private postsecondary educational institution. The bill expressly provides that the application of the state's anti-hazing statutes to postsecondary educational institutions is not limited to those institutions supported in whole or in part by public funds.
