The Caleb Wilson Hazing Prevention Act has been signed into law by Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry today. The anti-hazing bill was written in honor of Caleb Wilson, a Southern University student killed during a hazing ritual.

The bill was unanimously passed by the state legislature before officially becoming law per the governor’s signature. The law aims to establish stricter hazing policies, mandating college students involved in on-campus organizations to complete a one-hour anti-hazing course during their first two semesters of membership. 

20-year-old Caleb Wilson was a member of Southern University’s Omega Psi Phi. Investigators say Wilson was repeatedly punched in the chest before being taken to the hospital where he died.

Louisiana schools are now required to send an annual report to the state legislature addressing the hazing incidents on their campuses and how the school responded to them. Schools who fail to abide by this, will be forbidden from requesting state funds or subsidies. 

Wilson’s family specifically requested that student organizations who are found guilty of death caused by hazing, will be permanently banned from a school’s campus.
