S. 2461 · 118th Congress
COREY Safety Act of 2023
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 118th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

College Operational Reporting of Emergencies Involving Teens and Young Adults Safety Act of 2023 or the COREY Safety Act of 2023
This bill expands reporting requirements included in the annual security report provided to current and prospective students and employees of each institution of higher education (IHE).
Specifically, the bill requires each IHE to include in its report statistics concerning the occurrence on campus of accidents that result in serious physical injury or death in the following categories:
- transportation on foot or via bikes, scooters, skateboards, longboards, or motor vehicles;
- slips and falls, in the aggregate and from low heights, mid heights, and high heights;
- alcohol or drug overdoses;
- choking or drowning;
- any other specific category of accidents identified by the IHE; and
- all other accidents.
The IHE must also include in the report (1) a description of any plans to address deficient or dangerous facilities on campus that have caused serious physical injury or death; and (2) a statement containing the names, addresses, and distances from campus of the closest trauma centers or other hospitals.
Additionally, the bill changes the name of the report from annual security report to annual campus safety report.
Further, the bill requires the annual report to be published on the IHE's public website. The report must be written and organized in a manner that is easily understandable by students and families.
The Department of Education must issue guidance to IHEs regarding the implementation of this bill.
