The bill is known as Boston's law, named after lost in Hazelwood, a University of Kentucky student who died of alcohol poisoning while pledging at a fraternity.
Senator Rob Mills of Henderson told the committee the bill sends a message that hazing should never be tolerated.
For far too long, hazing has been this awkward rite of passage in Kentucky that many still refuse to acknowledge was wrong.
We believe the elevation of hazing to a crime addresses head on the seriousness of these actions.
It lets students know that Kentucky values student safety and violations of their safety will be addressed in the honor law.
Senate Bill nine, as amended, was later passed on the House floor by a vote of 96 to 3.
It's now headed back to the Senate for final approval.
