          *********** 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.
