This bill died with 2009-2010 Regular Session. It reached “To Executive” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.
This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.
Summary
(1) Existing law prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability, gender, nationality, race or ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or other specified characteristics, in any program or activity conducted by an educational institution, as defined, that receives, or benefits from, state financial assistance or enrolls pupils who receive state student financial aid. Existing law prohibits public funds from being used in connection with any athletic program conducted under the auspices of the governing board of a school district or a student organization with the district that does not provide equal opportunity to both sexes for participation and for use of facilities. Existing law lists the rights that are based on the relevant provision of the federal regulations implementing the federal law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs and activities (Title IX) and requires the State Department of Education to post that list on its Internet Web site. This bill would require a school district, the president or chief executive officer of a community college campus, and the president of a campus of the California State University, by July 1, 2010, to place on their respective Internet Web sites the list of rights accorded to students under Title IX. The bill would request the chancellor of each campus of the University of California also to place the list of those rights on its campus Internet Web site by July 1, 2010. By requiring school districts and community college campuses to post this information on their respective Internet Web sites, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (2) 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 these statutory provisions.

- What does SB 248 do?
- (1) Existing law prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability, gender, nationality, race or ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or other specified characteristics, in any program or activity conducted by an educational institution, as defined, that receives, or benefits from, state financial assistance or enrolls pupils who receive state student financial aid. Existing law prohibits public funds from being used in connection with any athletic program conducted under the auspices of the governing board of a school district or a student organization with the district that does not provide equal opportunity to both sexes for participation and for use of facilities. Existing law lists the rights that are based on the relevant provision of the federal regulations implementing the federal law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs and activities (Title IX) and requires the State Department of Education to post that list on its Internet Web site. This bill would require a school district, the president or chief executive officer of a community college campus, and the president of a campus of the California State University, by July 1, 2010, to place on their respective Internet Web sites the list of rights accorded to students under Title IX. The bill would request the chancellor of each campus of the University of California also to place the list of those rights on its campus Internet Web site by July 1, 2010. By requiring school districts and community college campuses to post this information on their respective Internet Web sites, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (2) 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 these statutory provisions.
