Summary
Existing law requires the governing boards of community college districts and the Trustees of the California State University, and requests the Regents of the University of California, to provide, as part of established campus orientations, educational and preventive information on sexual violence and sexual harassment. Existing law, beginning on September 1, 2024, and annually thereafter, requires the California Community Colleges, the California State University, and independent institutions of higher education and private postsecondary educational institutions that receive state financial assistance, and requests the University of California, to annually train students on sexual violence and sexual harassment, and requires that training to include certain topics, including common facts and myths about the causes of sexual violence and sexual harassment. This bill would require the California Community Colleges, the California State University, and independent institutions of higher education and private postsecondary educational institutions that receive state financial assistance, and request the University of California, on or before September 1, 2026, and biennially thereafter, to consider updating the annual sexual violence and sexual harassment training for students. The bill would also require the annual sexual violence and sexual harassment training, beginning on September 1, 2026, to include additional topics, including how to recognize if someone is at risk of alcohol- and drug-facilitated sexual assault. By imposing new duties on community college districts, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
