Summary of Bill HRES 1497

Bill 118 HRES 1497, also known as the "National Hazing Awareness Week" bill, aims to designate the week of September 23 through September 27, 2024, as a time to raise awareness about the dangers and consequences of hazing. Hazing is a harmful practice that involves subjecting individuals to humiliating or dangerous rituals as a condition of joining a group or organization.

The bill expresses support for efforts to educate the public about the negative impact of hazing, particularly on college campuses and within organizations such as fraternities and sororities. It emphasizes the importance of promoting a culture of respect, inclusion, and safety, and encourages schools, universities, and community organizations to take proactive measures to prevent hazing and support victims.

By designating a specific week for National Hazing Awareness, the bill aims to spark conversations, raise awareness, and ultimately prevent future incidents of hazing. It underscores the need for individuals and institutions to take a stand against this harmful practice and work towards creating a safer and more inclusive environment for all.
