Bill	Discrimination: postsecondary education.	The Equity in Higher Education Act, among other things, prohibits a person from being subjected to discrimination on the basis of specified attributes, including sex, in any program or activity conducted by a postsecondary educational institution that receives, or benefits from, state financial assistance or enrolls students who receive state student financial aid. Existing federal law, known as Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, prohibits a person, on the basis of sex, from being excluded from participation in, being denied the benefits of, or being subject to discrimination under, any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. Both the federal and state laws do not apply to an educational institution that is controlled by a religious organization if the application would not be consistent with the religious tenets of that organization. Title IX provides a private right of action for violation of its provisions by a public postsecondary educational institution.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20152016	SB 1146	California SB 1146 (20152016)	bill	Discrimination: postsecondary education.	enacted	Lara	13	38	9	2016-02-18	2016-09-30	openstates	ocd-bill/09f70c6f-2b0e-4cdc-acbd-5615b480d83f	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160SB1146	e0b1f2b3d562f84b0b83bb8fd4c74a0da2c20feb0e1e82937afd30376ddbf03f	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
