Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) is among a bipartisan group of 10 senators reintroducing the Campus Accountability and Safety Act at a press conference tomorrow at 2:00pm.

The legislation would also professionalize the response to, and reporting of, sexual assaults that occur on campuses in order to increase prosecutions, better protect and empower students, while also respecting the rights of the accused.
In addition to Rubio, senators announcing the re-introduced legislation include: Claire McCaskill (D-MO), Dean Heller (R-NV), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), Mark Warner (D-VA), Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) and Gary Peters (D-MI).
