Novus Law Firm is collaborating with Grand River Solutions on Friday, June 24, 2022 to deliver a live virtual session on CA SB 493. Natasha Baker will join Joseph Storch and Karen Nutter (Grand River Solutions). In 2021, California enacted SB 493, an expansion of California’s approach to addressing sexual and interpersonal violence and harassment at public and private postsecondary institutions in California. The legislation is, in part, a reaction to the requirements of the 2020 Title IX Final Rule and some parts of SB 493 impact cases also covered by the final rule; while also expanding institutional obligations to a broader set of cases. This training will provide participants with an overview of SB 493 including its obligations and requirements and how it intersects with the 2020 Title IX Final Rule and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act.
