SACRAMENTO - (INT) - Gov. Jerry Brown has signed legislation requiring California colleges to adopt rape-prevention policies that include an “affirmative consent” standard for sexual actvity.

The nationally watched legislation will put responsibility on someone engaging in sexual activity to obtain an affirmative, conscious and voluntary agreement from his or her partner.

The signing was among dozens of decisions Brown announced as he nears a Tuesday deadline to act on legislation lawmakers sent him this year.

In a major victory for California labor unions, the Democratic governor signed legislation that will hold businesses liable when subcontractors violate wage, workplace safety or workers’ compensation rules. (Source: Sacramento Bee)
