Spring 2024
WHEREAS, Student Body Association’s face challenges while hosting meetings under AB 2449 (Rubio, 2022) because it requires remote students to disclose their location or have “just cause,” which makes meetings inaccessible and hard for students leaders to attend; and
WHEREAS, If the barrier of teleconference restriction from AB 2449 (Rubio, 2022) were lifted on some parts of student leaders or dual enrolled students, it would make the environment inclusive and accessible, but would ensure the safety of students for those meetings; now, therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the Student Senate of California Community Colleges advocate a change in the language of AB 2449 (Rubio, 2022) to alleviate the boundary of teleconference location by eliminating personal location or the location of the student due to a lack of safety for student leaders or dual enrolled high school students that are a part of associated student body; and
RESOLVED, That the Student Senate of California Community Colleges work with partners of the California Community Colleges System to codify language in legislation to eliminate personal location or the location of the student.

Status:
In 2024 - 25, the SSCCC sponsored AB 409 (Arambula), which extends the sunset date of our previously passed legislation, AB 1855 (Aramblua). This law allows Student Body Associations (SBAs) to seek a resolution from their Board of Trustees permitting student officers to withhold their personal address from public disclosure, enhancing student privacy and safety.
