Summary

The bill amends the Education Code so that trustees of the California State University system and community‑college boards must designate an employee at every main campus and at any branch, satellite, or other site to serve as a point of contact for LGBTQIA+ members of the campus community. The contact’s name and information must be posted online and in directories, and the role is limited so it does not become a Title IX coordinator or a responsible employee under state law. The University of California is asked to adopt the same practice through a regents’ resolution.
