Senate lawmakers want to pass a bill to expand sexual misconduct prevention on college campuses, after shelving it last session amid scrutiny from schools and survivor advocates. S.120 was introduced in 2023, but Senate committee members decided to put a pin in it and consult reps from universities, students and sexual violence prevention specialists this past summer. Lawmakers in the education committee introduced a reworked version Feb. 23. The University of Vermont is expected to present a new draft for legislators to chew on this week.
