Completion of Ethics Training
Cities, counties, and special districts in California are required by law (AB 1234, Chapter 700, Stats. of 2005) to provide ethics training to their local officials. The law also provides that if an entity develops criteria for the ethics training required by AB 1234, the Fair Political Practices Commission and the Attorney General must be consulted regarding any proposed course content. Several training options are available to your agency, including training conducted by commercial organizations, nonprofits, or an agency's own legal counsel.
To demonstrate compliance, provide copies of AB 1234 Training Certificates for all Trustees and Executives.
Harassment Prevention Training
California Government Code 12950.1 et. seq., requires employers with five or more employees, to provide at least two hours of sexual harassment training to all supervisory employees and at least one hour to all nonsupervisory employees, and once every two years thereafter. Training is required for all new employees and must be completed within six months of employment.
AB 1661 (Chapter 816, Statutes of 2016) requires local agency officials to receive two hours of harassment prevention training and education within the first six months of taking office and every two years thereafter if the agency provides any type of compensation, salary, or stipend to those officials.
To demonstrate compliance, provide copies of Harassment Prevention Training Certificates for all Trustees and Executives and a policy for all nonsupervisory employees to receive their mandated training.
