*********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE ***********
The following information is revised to reflect amendments
adopted by the committee on August 27, 2015
Bill
Summary: This bill: (1) requires all students to receive
comprehensive sexual health education twice between grades 7
through 12; and (2) modifies and expands the existing HIV
prevention instruction mandate.
Fiscal
Impact: Unknown, but costs likely at least in the low millions
(Proposition 98) to expand the existing mandate. Costs are
minor and absorbable to the California Department of Education.
This bill expands what school districts are able to claim as a
reimbursable state mandate under the existing mandate,
regardless of whether this instruction is already being
provided. It also requires school districts to incorporate
new components in their comprehensive sexual health and HIV
prevention education programs, or create a comprehensive

sexual health program if they do not offer one already. Costs
would vary by school district.
Committee
Amendments: Reduce potential reimbursable mandated costs by
eliminating requirement to provide in-service training on
comprehensive sexual health education.
