Among the honorable mentions: Student punishment curbs (AB420) Blocks school districts from suspending or expelling most students for “disrupting school activities or otherwise willfully defying the valid authority” of school personnel. The bill, which specifies a number of behaviors for which students can be expelled or suspended, sunsets in 2018. And of coarse: Inmate sterilization ban (SB1135) Prohibits sterilization for the purpose of birth control of inmates in state prisons or county jails. Also prohibits “any means of sterilization,” except in life-threatening situations and when the patient consents. The law was passed as a response to an investigation by the Center for Investigative Reporting and a state audit that found some female prisoners had been sterilized illegally.
