 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

   Section 1. Subdivision 6 of section 6444  of  the  education  law,  as
 added by chapter 76 of the laws of 2015, is amended to read as follows:
   6.  For  crimes  of  violence,  including,  but  not limited to sexual
 violence, defined as crimes that meet the reporting requirements  pursu-
 ant    to   the   federal   Clery   Act   established   in   20   U.S.C.
 1092(f)(1)(F)(i)(I)-(VIII), institutions shall make a  notation  on  the
 transcript  of  students  found responsible after a conduct process that
 they were "suspended after a finding of responsibility  for  a  code  of
 conduct  violation" or "expelled after a finding of responsibility for a
 code of conduct violation." For the respondent who  withdraws  from  the
 institution  while  such  conduct  charges  are pending, and declines to
 complete the disciplinary process, institutions shall make a notation on
 the transcript of such students that they "withdrew with conduct charges
 pending."  Each  institution  shall  publish  a  policy  on   transcript
 notations  and  appeals  seeking  removal of a transcript notation for a
 suspension, provided that such notation shall not be  removed  prior  to
 [one year] TWO YEARS after conclusion of the suspension, while notations
 for  expulsion  shall  not be removed. If a finding of responsibility is
 vacated for any reason, any such transcript notation shall be removed.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
