An anti-hazing bill is one step closer to becoming law in Kentucky, after a 15-1 vote in committee. Known as Lofton's Law, Senate Bill 9, was introduced after the death of 18-year-old Thomas "Lofton" Hazelwood, a University of Kentucky freshman who was found unconscious in Farmhouse Fraternity after drinking approximately 18 shots of bourbon. He later died of alcohol poisoning.
