CA legislature on verge of passing bill to require colleges & univs to defy the new TIX regs by prohibiting x-exam; & to give schools authority to defy various CA appellate rulings by not even providing a hearing.

Measure passed the Senate 30-8 (though before key amendments were included); has passed key House committees.

Incredibly, the bill is sold on grounds it will provide greater "clarity."
Implementation date isn't until 2022 (w/apparent hope that regs will be gone by then). No mention of policy on giving schools a choice to hold a hearing at all as violating CA court decisions.
Other components of the bill--a requirement for "trauma-informed" *investigations* & required training in "trauma-informed investigatory and hearing practices practices." The bill doesn't identify what "trauma-informed" practices are; or how they would provide "impartial" invns.
Univ of Cal system endorses bill w/odd "clarity" argument--criticizes new regs, makes no mention of existing requirements under state court decisions or whether CA legislature has authority to override state court decisions.
