Explanation

The bill results in a cost of $100,000 to the Regional Community Technical Colleges (RCTCs) as it would require prescribed programming for sexual violence awareness not already provided at the 12 campuses. The RCTCs would require ongoing contracted staffing to offer (1) sexual assault and intimate partner violence primary prevention and awareness programming for all students and employees and (2) ongoing prevention and awareness campaigns.

The University of Connecticut and the Connecticut State University System currently offer such programming and would not incur any costs due to the bill.

The Out Years

The annualized ongoing fiscal impact identified above would continue into the future subject to inflation.
