education that receives funds under this Act, shall enter into a 
memorandum of understanding with each law enforcement agency that has 
jurisdiction to report as a first responder to a campus of the 
institution, noncampus building or property, or public property (as 
these terms are defined under section 485(f)) (excluding a campus, 
noncampus building or property, or public property located outside the 
United States) to clearly delineate responsibilities and share 
information, in accordance with applicable Federal confidentiality 
laws, about domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and 
stalking occurring against students of the institution or against other 
individuals on the campus of the institution.
    ``(b) Review.--Each institution of higher education shall review 
the memorandum of understanding under this section with each law 
enforcement agency that has entered into such a memorandum of 
understanding every 2 years. As part of the review process, the 
institution shall contact each law enforcement agency that has entered 
into a memorandum of understanding to discuss how changes in policies 
or procedures at either the institution of higher education or the law 
enforcement agency may impact the provisions of the memorandum of 
understanding. If changes in policies or procedures are identified that 
impact the provisions of the memorandum of understanding, the 
institution of higher education and the law enforcement agency shall 
update the memorandum of understanding as necessary.
    ``(c) Contents.--Each memorandum of understanding described under 
this section shall include--
            ``(1) delineation and sharing protocols of investigative 
        responsibilities;

        notification and communication and measures to promote evidence 
        preservation;

        crimes, which may include a mechanism for sharing information 
        anonymously, that--
                    ``(A) requires that the victim authorized or 
                requested that such information be shared and is fully 
                and accurately informed about what procedures shall 
                occur if the information is shared; and
                    ``(B) is carried out in a manner that is consistent

    ``(d) Penalty.--
            ``(1) In general.--The Secretary--

                percent of an institution's operating budget, as 
                defined by the Secretary, each year that the 
                institution of higher education fails to carry out the 
                requirements of this section, by the date that is 1 
                year after the date of enactment of the Campus 
                Accountability and Safety Act; and
                    ``(B) if the conditions described in paragraph (3) 
                have been met, shall waive the penalty pursuant to such 
                paragraph.

        settlement collected under this subsection shall be used to

        Reauthorization Act of 2005 (42 U.S.C. 14045b).
            ``(3) Waiver.--
                    ``(A) In general.--If a local law enforcement 
                agency refuses to enter into a memorandum of 
                understanding under this section, or will only commit 
                to entering into a memorandum of understanding that, if 
                followed, would cause the institution of higher 
                education to be in violation of Federal or State law, 
                the Secretary shall waive the penalty if the Secretary 
                determines that the following conditions have been 
                met--
                            ``(i) the institution has explained why the 
                        institution was unable to obtain an agreement;

                        that the institution acted in good faith; and

                        the Secretary a copy of the institution's final 
                        proposed memorandum of understanding that was 
                        submitted to a law enforcement agency that was 
                        ultimately rejected.
                    ``(B) Referral to department of justice.--The 
                Secretary shall refer to the Attorney General a copy of 
                each waiver granted under subparagraph (A) and the 
                reason (as determined by the Secretary) for why local 
                law enforcement refuses to enter into a memorandum of 
                understanding.
                    ``(C) Administrative review.--If the Secretary does 
                not grant a waiver under subparagraph (A), the 
                institution may submit additional information to 
                receive such waiver. If, after submitting additional 
                information, the Secretary still does not grant a 
                waiver, the decision of the Secretary shall be subject 
                to review pursuant to section 706(2)(A) of title 5, 
                United States Code.
            ``(4) Voluntary resolution.--Nothing in this subsection 
        shall prevent the Secretary from entering into a voluntary 
        resolution with an institution of higher education that fails 
        to carry out the requirements of this section, by the date that 
        is 1 year after the date of enactment of the Campus 
        Accountability and Safety Act.
            ``(5) Adjustment to penalties.--Any civil penalty under 
        this subsection may be reduced by the Secretary. In determining 
        the amount of such penalty, or the amount agreed upon in 
        compromise, the Secretary shall consider the appropriateness of 
        the penalty to the size of the operating budget of the 
        educational institution subject to the determination, the 
        gravity of the violation or failure, and whether the 
        institution committed the violation or failure intentionally, 
        negligently, or otherwise.''.
    (b) Effective Date.--The amendment made by subsection (a) shall 
take effect on the date that is 1 year after the date of enactment of 
this Act.

the amendment made by this section in accordance with the requirements 
described under section 492 of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 
U.S.C. 1098a).
