This bill died with 2015-2016 Regular Session. It reached “Passed Assembly” 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This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis.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, the California Comprehensive Sexual Health and HIV/AIDS Prevention Education Act, authorizes school districts to provide comprehensive sexual health education, consisting of age-appropriate instruction, in any of kindergarten and grades 1 to 12, inclusive, and requires school districts to ensure that all pupils in grades 7 to 12, inclusive, receive HIV/AIDS prevention education, as specified. Existing law requires each school district to notify parents and guardians about its plan to provide this instruction for the upcoming year and to inform them, among other things, that written and audiovisual educational materials used in this instruction are available for inspection and of the name of the organization or affiliation of any guest speaker. This bill would require a school district to allow a pupil's parent or guardian to inspect any written or audiovisual educational material used in comprehensive sexual health education and HIV/AIDS prevention education and would authorize a parent or guardian to make copies of any written educational material that will be distributed to students, if it is not copyrighted and has been or will be presented by an outside consultant or guest speaker. The bill would authorize a school to charge up to $0.10 per page if a parent or guardian elects to make copies of this written educational material. The bill would also require a school district to inform parents and guardians of their right to make these copies and of the training in comprehensive sexual health education and HIV/AIDS prevention education of each outside consultant or guest speaker providing this instruction. Because the bill would require local educational agencies to perform additional duties, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (2) This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 51938 of the Education Code proposed by AB 329 that would become operative if this bill and AB 329 are both enacted and this bill is enacted last. (3) 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 with regard to certain mandates no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason. With regard to any other mandates, this bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs so mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
