Bill overview
This bill increases the penalty for hazing, a dangerous activity often involving physical harm, to a felony when it occurs on the property of a college or university in Nevada. Currently, hazing is a misdemeanor unless it results in substantial bodily harm. The bill also clarifies that consent from a victim cannot be used as a defense and defines ‘hazing’ to include specific dangerous activities. This change aims to deter hazing and protect students on college and university campuses.
