  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1. Paragraph a of subdivision 17 of section 355 of the educa-
tion law, as amended by chapter 486 of the laws of 2014, is  amended  to
read as follows:
  a.  The  board  of  trustees of the state university of New York shall
adopt rules requiring that each institution of the state university,  on
or  before  January  first,  two  thousand,  adopt  and implement a plan
providing for the investigation of any violent felony offense  occurring
at  or  on  the  grounds of each such institution, and providing for the
investigation of a report of  any  missing  student.  Such  plans  shall
provide  for  the  coordination  of the investigation of such crimes and
reports with local law enforcement agencies. Such plans  shall  include,
but  not  be  limited  to, written agreements with appropriate local law
enforcement agencies providing for  the  prompt  investigation  of  such
crimes  and  reports and a requirement that the institution shall notify
the appropriate law enforcement agency as soon as practicable but in  no
case  more  than twenty-four hours after a report of a violent felony or
that a student who resides in housing owned or operated by such institu-
tion is missing; [provided that such reporting  requirement  shall  take
into  consideration  applicable  federal law, including, but not limited
to, the federal Campus Sexual Assault  Victims'  Bill  of  Rights  under
Title  20  U.S.  Code Section 1092(f) which gives the victim of a sexual
offense the right on whether or not to report such offense to local  law
enforcement  agencies]  PROVIDED THAT EACH INSTITUTION SHALL: (1) INFORM
EACH VICTIM OF A SEXUAL OFFENSE OF THEIR OPTIONS TO  NOTIFY  PROPER  LAW
ENFORCEMENT  AUTHORITIES,  INCLUDING  ON-CAMPUS  AND  LOCAL  POLICE; (2)

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
