Rep. Veach Testifies in Support of Bill to Assist Victims of Violence

Since last year, I have been working in cooperation with a constituent on passing legislation that would help with an incident that occurred with her daughter and student athlete from a different college.

This morning, I sat in front of the Higher Education Committee, alongside my constituent, as she testified in support of this proposal, HB-5340.

This bill would allow for a victim of sexual harassment, sexual assault, stalking or intimate partner violence who is not a student or employee of an institution of higher education to be informed and participate in an investigation or disciplinary hearing involving a student or employee of said institution of higher education.

I’m thankful to be in a position to assist with this issue and hope the committee will support it moving forward.
