(2) an explanation of their right to obtain protective orders or enforce protective orders that are already in existence, which the IHE must honor; and
(3) contact information for victim services on-campus and in the locality.
Requires an IHE's policy regarding sexual assault and other intimate partner violence to include:
(1) education that promotes awareness of the offenses;
(2) possible sanctions imposed following disciplinary action;
(3) procedures victims should follow after such an offense occurs;
(4) on-campus disciplinary procedures; and
(5) the notification of victims regarding their options for, and assistance in, changing academic, living, transportation, and working situations.

House Democratic Caucus Summary

The House Democratic Caucus does not provide summaries of bills.

So, yes, we display the House Republican Conference’s summaries when available even if we do not have a Democratic summary available. That’s because we feel it is better to give you as much information as possible, even if we cannot provide every viewpoint.

We’ll be looking for a source of summaries from the other side in the meanwhile.

United States Code

The United States Code is the compilation of permanent laws enacted by Congress. Temporary and other non-permanent laws do not appear in the United States Code. (About half of the United States Code is the law itself, called positive law. The other half is merely a compilation of the laws but has no legal significance.)
