Summary

AB 1928 mandates that any postsecondary institution receiving state financial assistance adopt grievance procedures that allow each student complainant and respondent to have both a support person and an adviser present at every stage of a sexual‑harassment case. It also sets detailed standards for investigations, notice, counseling, and reporting, and requires publication of Title IX coordinator contact information. The goal is to strengthen procedural protections and ensure equitable, trauma‑informed handling of complaints.
