a) The Legislature finds and declares that it is unconscionable for a parent, on behalf of the parent’s minor child, to be required to waive a legal right, remedy, forum, proceeding, or procedure, including the right to file and pursue a civil action, belonging to that minor child with respect to claims arising out of a criminal sexual assault or criminal sexual battery as a condition of enrollment in an educational institution. (

b) Notwithstanding

Chapter 2 (commencing with

Section 6710) of Part of Division of the Family Code, a provision in an educational institution’s enrollment agreement that purports to waive a legal right, remedy, forum, proceeding, or procedure may be disaffirmed by the minor, regardless of whether a parent or legal guardian has signed the enrollment agreement on the minor’s behalf, to the extent that the provision is construed to require the minor to waive a legal right, remedy, forum, proceeding, or procedure arising out of a criminal sexual assault or criminal sexual battery on that minor. (

section does not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of the enrollment agreement. (
