CA AB810

Requires community college districts and California State University to ask applicants for academic, athletic, or administrative positions to disclose any final administrative or judicial decisions from the last 7 years finding they committed sexual harassment, and to sign release forms authorizing contact with previous employers about substantiated allegations of misconduct.

Requests (but does not require) the University of California Regents and independent institutions of higher education receiving state financial assistance to adopt the same hiring practice requirements for academic, athletic, and administrative positions.

Mandates postsecondary institutions contact current or former employers when authorizing volunteers in athletic departments to determine if applicants violated any employment policies.

Prohibits institutions from requesting disclosure of sexual harassment findings until determining the applicant meets minimum employment qualifications for the position.

Provides that if the Commission on State Mandates determines the bill imposes costs on local agencies, reimbursement shall be made pursuant to existing state mandate procedures.
