	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 401, Ammiano. School safety: Carl Washington School Safety and
Violence Prevention Act.
   Existing law states the intent of the Legislature that public
schools have access to supplemental resources to combat bias on the
basis of race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin,
disability, gender, gender identity, gender expression, or sexual
orientation, as defined, and to prevent and respond to acts of hate
violence and bias-related incidents. A provision of existing law
prohibits the term sexual orientation from including pedophilia.
   This bill would delete the provision related to pedophilia.
   This bill would incorporate additional changes in Section 32228 of
the Education Code, proposed by AB 1999, to be operative only if AB
1999 and this bill are both chaptered and become effective January 1,
2013, and this bill is chaptered last.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

and to prevent and respond to acts of hate violence and bias-related
incidents.
   (c) It is further the intent of the Legislature that schoolsites
receiving funds pursuant to this article accomplish all of the

are enacted and become effective on or before January 1, 2013, (2)
each bill amends Section 32228 of the Education Code, and (3) this
bill is enacted after Assembly Bill 1999, in which case Section 1 of
