Legislation to make hazing a first-degree crime is headed to the full Senate. The legislation, termed “Lofton’s Law” won approval in the Judiciary Committee Thursday. Bill Sponsor Robby Mills told his colleagues the current wanton endangerment charge doesn’t adequately cover all acts of hazing.
“For far too long hazing has been this awkward rite of passage in Kentucky and other states that many still refuse to acknowledge as wrong. We believe the elevating the elevation of hazing to a crime addresses head-on,” said Mills.
