Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill into law July 15 that asks an advisory board to the state’s Board of Education to consider providing recommendations for the health curriculum warning about the dangers of so-called sextortion for California public school students. The term refers to when someone obtains sexually compromising material and threatens to publish it.
Assembly Bill 2932, authored by Republican Assemblyman Joe Patterson, had no formal opposition and passed both houses this year unanimously.
