	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1955, Block. Public postsecondary education: campus law
enforcement agency and student liaison.
   Existing law prohibits the Regents of the University of
California, the Trustees of the California State University, and the

enforcing a rule subjecting a student to disciplinary sanction solely
on the basis of conduct that is speech or other communication that
is protected by specified provisions of the United States
Constitution and the California Constitution.
   This bill would require, for purposes of promoting peaceful campus
demonstrations, the Trustees of the California State University to
require each campus of the California State University to designate
an individual to serve as a liaison between campus law enforcement
agencies and students exercising rights guaranteed by the First
Amendment to the United States Constitution or a similar provision of
the California Constitution, or both. The bill would request that
the Regents of the University of California designate an individual
at each campus of the University of California to serve as a liaison
between campus law enforcement agencies and students exercising
rights guaranteed by the First Amendment to the United States
Constitution or a similar provision of the California Constitution,
or both.

United States Constitution or Section 2 of Article I of the
California Constitution, or both. The Regents of the University of
California are requested to designate an individual at each campus of
the University of California to serve as a liaison between campus
law enforcement agencies and students exercising rights guaranteed by
the First Amendment to the United States Constitution or Section 2
