Louisiana Signs Hazing Prevention Law
About this episode
Louisiana has signed the Caleb Wilson Hazing Prevention Act, which increases penalties for hazing and mandates training for student groups.
Louisiana is about to crack down hard on hazing with the signing of the Caleb Wilson Hazing Prevention Act—set for Friday at the Capitol. This landmark law, House Bill 636, now known as Act 309, dramatically raises penalties, mandates annual prevention training for student groups, and clarifies what counts as hazing. Named after Caleb Wilson, a Southern University student who died tragically during an off-campus hazing ritual, the bill passed both chambers in May and takes effect August 1. It’s a crucial step toward safer campuses and preventing future tragedies. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
