CA AB1138

California State University (CSU) and University of California (UC) must ensure students experiencing sexual violence receive information about sexual assault forensic medical examination options and rights, to the extent feasible.

Beginning with the 2025-26 school year, CSU and UC must provide free transportation to and from Sexual Assault Forensic Examination (SAFE) or Sexual Abuse Response Team (SART) exam centers for eligible students, with options including staff from partner organizations, campus transportation, ride-share services, or law enforcement (with at least one non-law-enforcement option available).

Transportation services must protect student safety and confidentiality, and students must be informed about the right to be accompanied by a certified sexual assault counselor or support person of their choosing.

CSU and UC must submit reports to the Legislature by June 30, 2026, and biennially thereafter, detailing whether their institutions provided transportation services and the manner in which students received transportation.

These requirements apply as conditions for institutions to receive state funds for student financial assistance.
