CA AB2315

Community college district governing boards must implement a system allowing current students, staff, and faculty to declare an affirmed name, gender, or both for use in records where legal names are not required by law.

Community college campuses must update records including email addresses, ID cards, class rosters, transcripts, diplomas, and certificates to reflect declared affirmed names or gender identifications upon request.

Starting with the 2023–24 academic year, all community college campus systems must be capable of allowing individuals to declare affirmed names and/or gender identifications.

Community colleges cannot charge higher fees for correcting, updating, or reissuing documents based on affirmed name or gender declaration than fees charged for routine document corrections.

If the Commission on State Mandates determines the bill imposes state-mandated costs, reimbursement to local agencies shall be made under Government Code Part 7.
