Students as Bill Writers
McGeorge law students drafted four bills that became legislation last year.
Four student-proposed bills that Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law: SB 1058 (Mark Leno, D-San Francisco) allows inmates a new habeas corpus hearing if expert testimony used to convict them is subsequently discredited. AB 2643 (Bob Wieckowski, D-Fremont) allows victims of "revenge porn" to anonymously file a civil action to get online images removed. AB 2623 (Richard Pan, D-Sacramento) adds elder law and elder abuse education to basic training programs for California peace officers. AB 2632 (Brian Maienschein, R-San Diego) requires the state Department of Social Services to consider job applicants' arrest records in hires at state-licensed child-care or elder-care facilities.
