Duncan and Graham Co-Sponsors of Klobuchar’s REACH Act

US Representative Jeff Duncan and Senator Lindsey Graham are supporting a bipartisan bill that would require institutions of higher education that participate in federal student-aid programs to report hazing incidents and implement hazing education programs.

The bill is also sponsored by Minnesota Democrat Amy Klobuchar, who initially introduced the measure in March of last year.

Duncan said The Report and Educate About Campus Hazing (REACH) Act will honor the life of Tucker Hipps, who died at age 19 from a 2014 hazing-related incident in Oconee County. Graham said he met with the Hipps family and is proud to cosponsor the REACH Act.
