Because figuring out effective ways to enforce existing laws creates far less political capital than generating new, poorly thought out, constitutionally questionable laws.

Or something.

Granted, this article is one point of view and I read it quickly so I might be taking a quick and glib route to judgement.

Curious if anyone can effectively argue in favor of this bill - I'm not claiming I've reached a 'settled' judgement on it.

Looks like an attempt to require all college employees report offenses to the authorities with colleges being held accountable for the action or lack thereof of its employees in regards to reporting those types of crime. I like that concept in light of Baylor, Penn State, etc, where sexual assault shit was hidden or not disclosed for nefarious reasons. I'd have to read the actual bill to formulate a better opinion.
