relative to campus security policies and campus crime statistics on their websites

Digest of Bill as Finally Passed by Senate
Proposed law requires each public postsecondary education institution to publish on its
website a report that contains campus security policies and campus crime statistics. Requires
reports to contain, at a minimum, all information relative to such policies and statistics
specified in federal law commonly known as the "Clery Act" and that reports be updated and
posted by April 10th and October 10th annually.
Proposed law provides for compliance monitoring and notification by the Bd. of Regents of
the legislative education committees and the State Bond Commission for failure to comply.
Prohibits the Bond Commission, for a period of two years following such a notification, from
authorizing the institution to incur any debt that is subject to the commission's approval.
Also authorizes any person to commence a suit in the district court for the parish in which
an action in violation of proposed law occurred for the issuance of a writ of mandamus or
injunctive or declaratory relief to require compliance with proposed law together with
reasonable attorney fees and costs.
