Bill > AB1135

This bill requires the California Superintendent of Public Instruction to develop and publish guidance and a list of statewide resources specifically aimed at preventing teen dating violence by July 1, 2026. Additionally, the bill mandates that all county offices of education, school districts, and charter schools serving grades 7-12 must post this guidance and resource list on their respective websites by January 1, 2027. The bill is an extension of the existing Safe Place to Learn Act, which aims to improve pupil safety and connections between students and supportive adults in schools. Recognizing that implementing these new requirements may create additional costs for local educational agencies, the bill includes a provision that if the Commission on State Mandates determines the act contains state-mandated costs, local agencies will be reimbursed according to established government code procedures. This legislation represents a proactive approach to addressing teen dating violence by ensuring schools have access to standardized guidance and resources to help prevent and respond to such issues.
