Bill > AB1227

This bill amends the California Healthy Youth Act and the Commercially Sexually Exploited Children Program to enhance education and training related to human trafficking prevention. Key provisions include: 1) Requiring comprehensive sexual health and HIV prevention education in grades 7-12 to include information on sexual abuse and human trafficking, rather than just "sex trafficking." 2) Authorizing school districts to provide abuse (including sexual abuse) and human trafficking prevention education, and requiring ongoing training for school personnel on these topics. 3) Expanding the Commercially Sexually Exploited Children Program to incorporate more education and training components, including requiring representation from the county office of education and sheriff's department on the multidisciplinary team. 4) Extending the deadline for the state to ensure the child welfare data system can collect data on commercially sexually exploited children. The bill aims to reduce the vulnerability of children to exploitation and human trafficking through coordinated prevention education and training efforts across schools, counties, and state agencies.
