Overview
This bill requires California’s public universities and independent colleges to notify faculty, staff, and students when their personal information is shared with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights, typically for investigations or compliance actions. The notification must describe the specific types of information being shared and limits the sharing to situations required by law. The bill also addresses potential state-mandated costs and outlines reimbursement procedures if the Commission on State Mandates determines the bill creates such costs.
