What this law does
Education Code section 66027(a)(1) requests the Trustees of the California State University, the Regents of the University of California and the governing board of each community college district, in collecting data relative to gender, race, ethnicity or other demographics from faculty, staff or students, to allow them to identify their sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression on any form used to collect that data, as appropriate.
Under section 66027(a)(2), a governing board is not required to update an existing form used to collect demographic data, but must provide for the identification of sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression on any new or updated form.
Section 66027(b) requests the Regents, the Trustees and the Chancellor’s Office of the California Community Colleges to report aggregate information only to the extent the individuals from whom it is collected authorize its release, and the report may not include any individual identifying information. Section 66027 was added by Statutes 2011, chapter 637 (AB 620), effective .
