Gov. Jerry Brown announced Sunday that he has signed a bill that makes California the first in the nation to define when "yes means yes" and adopt requirements for colleges to follow when investigating sexual assault reports.
State lawmakers last month approved SB967 by Sen. Kevin de Leon, D-Los Angeles, as states and universities across the U.S. are under pressure to change how they handle rape allegations. Campus sexual assault victims and women's advocacy groups delivered petitions to Brown's office on Sept. 16 urging him to sign the bill.
De Leon has said the legislation will begin a paradigm shift in how college campuses in California prevent and investigate sexual assaults. Rather than using the refrain "no means no," the definition of consent under the bill requires "an affirmative, conscious and voluntary agreement to engage in sexual activity."

I just wonder how they are going to make it work. I mean, how two people are going to express or confirm their mutual consent before sex? Cause all these nods and movements are not solid especially when you are drunk. You need something more trustworthy, something that would prove you were serious – the next morning.
I suggest some fast sex consent services, preferably automatic, than would scan you two and print a written consent.
No, the previous condition had too many things open to interpretations.This is a bad law with too many loopholes and too floppy of definitions. Kids are dumb and will do dumb things that will allow this law to be taken advantage of.

Oh great now were going to have idiots presenting their absurd interpretations of this law again.
No, originally it was lack of enforcement. This law will be abused, its designed for nothing more than getting more people into the penal system, justice is of no concern.
No, originally you had rapists getting let go because of high priced lawyers fighting over what consent is.

So Californians can't legally consent to sex when they're drunk? Yes means yes except when yes means no?And now we'll turn drunken one night stands into rape.

It isn't clear whether any of the ranters here have any interest (or for that matter capability) of reading it but for sake of completeness, this is the actual bill in question; https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140SB967
In relation to organisations internal policies and disciplinary procedures I suspect that is the case (Constitution at all). Remember this is quite distinct and separate from any formal legal proceedings but is about how the educational institutions deal with students who have been accused of sexual assault or rape.So the legislature does not have the power to legislate without enforcing compliance through the withholding of state funds for student assistance?

This law is pointless and will do nothing. There's still going to be just as much drinking and sexual activity, which will mean just as many sexual assaults (or claimed sexual assaults). And unless there are witnesses (which is rare), it's still going to be he said/she said.
It shouldn't be a university's job to police sexual assault on campus anyway. That's what we have police for.
