Summary

The Higher Education Activities Response (HEAR) Act obligates public colleges and universities to request a security threat assessment from a law‑enforcement tactical team at least 30 days before any institution‑sponsored on‑campus event. Based on that assessment, schools must provide the recommended number of trained security personnel and share the assessment with local police and the Attorney General. Failure to comply results in a fine that funds a revolving account for investigations and victim assistance.
