Assembly Bill AB 1825 ("AB 1825" or "AB1825"), passed by the California legislature and signed by the governor, requires that companies who do business in California and who have 50 or more employees provide at least two hours of sexual harassment prevention training to their supervisors. (The statute based on AB 1825 is California Government Code section 12905.1.) This training must be provided at least every two years to each supervisory employee, as well as to all new supervisory employees within six months of assuming their supervisory position.
The Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) released regulations effective August 2007, which interpret and clarify AB 1825. These regulations cover a number of topics, including 1) who's considered a qualified trainer (fewer categories than you'd think); 2) who's considered an "employee" or "supervisor"; and 3) the topics that must be addressed in an AB 1825 compliant training.
Also, below are links to AB 1825, the 2007 regulations, and other helpful resources, including the DFEH's pamphlet about sexual harassment.
