Enrollment agreements.
Summary
Existing law prescribes various conditions and limitations on enrollment in educational institutions, including, in some cases, on the provisions in enrollment agreements. This bill would authorize a minor to disaffirm a provision in an educational institution's enrollment agreement that purports to waive a legal right, remedy, forum, proceeding, or procedure, regardless of whether a parent or legal guardian has signed the enrollment agreement on the minor's behalf, to the extent that the provision is construed to require the minor to waive a legal right, remedy, forum, proceeding, or procedure arising out of a criminal sexual assault or criminal sexual battery, as defined, on that minor. The bill would apply only to enrollment agreements for public or private schools maintaining a kindergarten or any of grades 1 through 12.
