	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1439, as introduced, Block. Postsecondary education: sexual
harassment prevention.
   Under existing law, the segments of postsecondary education in
this state are the University of California, the California State
University, the California Community Colleges, independent
institutions of higher education, and private postsecondary
educational institutions. Existing law requires the governing board
of each community college district, the Trustees of the California
State University, and the Regents of the University of California to
adopt and implement a rape and sexual assault education program at
each of their respective campuses or other facilities.
   This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation that would provide students attending postsecondary
educational institutions in California with a learning environment
free from sexual harassment.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  It is the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation that would provide students attending postsecondary
educational institutions in California with a learning environment
free from sexual harassment.
