AB 922: University of California: employees, volunteers, and contractors: background checks.

What AB 922 does, verified December 6, 2025

The bill aims to add a new section to the education code that allows the University of California to require background checks for prospective staff employees, contractors, and volunteers. This requirement would be completed by the Department of Justice as specified. The university would need to notify the department to terminate the notification for an individual who is no longer in a position that permits such notification. The university would also need to verify the status of each individual whose notification has not been terminated every 6 months. Additionally, the university would need to inform the department of any unknown arrest notifications or notifications that have been terminated. This would help ensure the security of the university and its funds.
