House Bill 699 amends the Education Code to require each public institution of higher education to adopt a campus sexual assault policy that includes definitions of prohibited behavior, sanctions for violations, and the protocol for reporting and responding to reports of campus sexual assault. Each institution must make the policy available to students, faculty, and staff members in the institution's student handbook and personnel handbook and on a web page on the institution's website dedicated solely to the policy and must require each entering freshman or undergraduate transfer student to attend an orientation on the institution's campus sexual assault policy before or during the first semester or term in which the student is enrolled at the institution.
