Assemblymember Bauer‑Kehan presented AB 2212, which updates the education code to cover tech‑facilitated sexual harassment, including nonconsensual AI‑generated explicit material, and requires colleges to develop consistent prevention, reporting and support policies.
"Institutions need standardized policies to address AI generated explicit material," America Rodriguez Lagos, a UCLA undergraduate and member of Survivors and Allies, told the committee, sharing personal testimony about intimate images being used without consent. The bill would require campuses to provide students with resource lists and clarify consent standards for digitized materials.
Campus student groups and privacy advocates supported the measure. The committee recorded sufficient votes to pass AB 2212 and referred the bill to the Privacy and Consumer Protection Committee for further review.
