	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1222, as introduced, Bonnie Lowenthal. California State
University: alumni: disclosure.
   Existing law establishes the California State University,
administered by the Trustees of the California State University, as
one of the segments of public postsecondary education in this state.
   Existing law prescribes criteria for the disclosure of the names
and addresses of alumni of the California State University. Existing
law requires that the names, addresses, and electronic mail addresses
of alumni be disclosed only to provide those persons with
informational materials relating to the university and its programs
and activities; to provide those persons, or the trustees, auxiliary
organizations of the California State University, as defined, or the
alumni associations with beneficial commercial opportunities; or to
promote and support the educational mission of the university, the
trustees, or the alumni associations.
   Existing law authorizes this disclosure only if the trustees,
auxiliary organizations, or the alumni associations have a written
agreement with a business, as defined, that maintains control over
this data that requires the business to maintain the confidentiality
of the names, addresses, and electronic mail addresses of the alumni,
that requires that the university retains the right to approve or
reject any purpose for which the private information is to be used by
the business and to review and approve the text of mailings sent to
alumni pursuant to the bill, and that prohibits the business from
using the information for any purposes other than those described,
and the disclosure of alumni names, addresses, and electronic mail
addresses does not include the names and addresses of alumni who have
directed the trustees or an alumni association or auxiliary
organization, not to disclose their names, addresses, or electronic
mail addresses.
   Existing law requires the university to make available to its
alumni a specified form or an alternative notice, including specified
information, in a mailing or in an Internet posting, as prescribed,
before alumni names, addresses, and electronic mail addresses may be
disclosed.
   Existing law specifies that these provisions are repealed as of
January 1, 2011.
   This bill would delete this repeal date, thereby extending the
operation of these provisions indefinitely.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
