The Stop Campus Hazing Act addresses hazing as a campus safety issue, and updating the name is better reflective of that focus. Mr. Speaker, we have an obligation to ensure that every student has access to a safe learning environment. Today, with this legislation, we ensure that students and parents will better understand the culture and dangers of hazing on college campuses. As a result, I believe that H.R. 5646 is an important step forward to protect the health, safety, and future of our students. Again, I thank Representatives McBath and Duncan for their leadership on this issue. Mr. Speaker, I encourage my colleagues to support the bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.
