RESOLUTION No. ___




Introduced by: Porter


____________________________________




    A HOUSE RESOLUTION to urge the legislative council to create an interim study committee to study the problem of hazing.

    Whereas, hazing has a negative impact on students and the educational environment in which they learn; and

    Whereas, understanding the causes and best methods of prevention may provide a better portrait of what can best be done to correct and prevent the existing problems; and

    Whereas, reviewing recent hazing incidents in the state of Indiana in public high schools and universities may shed light on these situations and allow for comparative case study analysis; and

    Whereas, studying the impact of extending the current Indiana Code on hazing to public high schools and public universities would provide a basis for understanding if the number of hazing incidents and their severity in public

education can be reduced; therefore

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the

General Assembly of the State of Indiana:

    SECTION 1. That the legislative council assign an interim study committee to study the history, causes, effects and solutions regarding the problem of hazing.
    SECTION 2. That the committee, if established, should operate under the direction of the legislative council and that the committee shall issue a final report when directed to do so by the council.
