AB 1730: Community colleges: external resolution services for civil rights compliance: managing entity and civil rights coordinator.

The bill requires the California community colleges to administer external resolution services for civil rights compliance, including developing and recommending a nondiscrimination policy, training programs, and addressing grievances and complaints. The board of governors must enter into a contract with a managing entity to provide these services and approve and update the policy annually. Community college districts must adopt the policy and designate a staff person as a Title IX coordinator, who must respond to complaints and maintain records. A complainant or respondent dissatisfied with an administrative decision can appeal to the chancellor's office. The bill establishes an External Resolution Services Fund to pay for these services, with community college districts contributing their proportional share of the payment based on the number of full-time equivalent students.
