[ Approved by Governor September 22, 2024. Filed with Secretary of State September 22, 2024. ] LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTSB 1491, Eggman. Postsecondary education: Equity in Higher Education Act.(1) The Equity in Higher Education Act, among other things, prohibits a person from being subjected to discrimination on the basis of specified attributes, including sex, in any program or activity conducted by a postsecondary educational institution that receives, or benefits from, state financial assistance or enrolls students who receive state student financial aid. Existing law defines sexual orientation for purposes of the Equity in Higher Education Act. Existing federal law, known as Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, prohibits a person, on the basis of sex, from being excluded from participation in, being denied the benefits of, or being subject to discrimination under, any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. Both the federal and state laws do not apply to an educational institution that is controlled by a religious organization if the application would not be consistent with the religious tenets of that organization.The Equity in Higher Education Act requests the Trustees of the California State University, the Regents of the University of California, and the governing board of each community college district to designate an employee at each campus as a point of contact for the needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender faculty, staff, and students.This bill instead would require the Trustees of the California State University and the governing board of each community college district to designate an employee at each campus as a point of contact for the needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, asexual, pansexual, transgender, gender-nonconforming, intersex, and two-spirit faculty, staff, and students. The bill, among other things, would prohibit a designated employee from being considered a responsible employee, as that term is used for purposes of certain existing requirements regarding the reporting of, and campus response to, allegations of sexual harassment, as defined for purposes of the Equity in Higher Education Act. The bill would request the University of California to comply with the provisions described in this paragraph. By imposing new duties on community college districts, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.This bill would revise the definition of sexual orientation for purposes of the Equity in Higher Education Act, as specified.(2) Existing law requires an institution that has an exemption from either the Equity in Higher Education Act or Title IX to make specified disclosures to the institutions current and prospective students, faculty members, and employees, and to the Student Aid Commission, concerning the institutions basis for having the exemption, and requires the commission to collect the information it receives and to post and maintain a list on the commissions internet website of all institutions with the exemption and their respective bases for having the exemption.This bill would, beginning with the 202627 school year, require the commission to provide a written notice to students who receive state financial aid regarding, among other things, whether their postsecondary educational institution has an exemption from either the Equity in Higher Education Act or Title IX on file with the commission.(3) Existing law requests the Trustees of the California State University, the Regents of the University of California, and the governing board of each community college district to adopt and publish policies on harassment, intimidation, and bullying to be included within the rules and regulations governing student behavior within these segments.This bill instead would require the Trustees of the California State University and the governing board of each community college district, and would request the University of California, to adopt and publish policies on harassment, intimidation, and bullying, and to include these policies within the rules and regulations governing student behavior within these segments. By imposing new duties on community college districts, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.(4) 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.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: YES Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.
