SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Gov. Jerry Brown announced Sunday that he has signed a bill that makes California the first in the nation to define when "yes means yes" and adopt requirements for colleges to follow when investigating sexual assault reports.

State lawmakers last month approved Senate Bill 967 by Sen. Kevin de Leon, D-Los Angeles, as states and universities across the U.S. are under pressure to change how they handle rape allegations. Campus sexual assault victims and women's advocacy groups delivered petitions to Brown's office on Sept. 16 urging him to sign the bill.

De Leon has said the legislation will begin a paradigm shift in how college campuses in California prevent and investigate sexual assaults. Rather than using the refrain "no means no," the definition of consent under the bill requires "an affirmative, conscious and voluntary agreement to engage in sexual activity."

"Every student deserves a learning environment that is safe and healthy," De Leon said in a statement Sunday night. "The State of California will not allow schools to sweep rape cases under the rug. We've shifted the conversation regarding sexual assault to one of prevention, justice, and healing."

Legal forms can be included with condoms, including places to initial for attorneys fees, and places to sign.

Fear of prison may trump passion. OTOH very loose females can pass out pre signed forms.

Got a government big and powerful enough, yet? One that will dumb society down at a rate heretofore not considered.

 When they say, "Ooh la la!""

But Mama, Pa......I didn't sign the form !!

Better yet for our times, an iPhone and Android ap.

And using electronic ink for signatures, like real estate forms and online purchases today. Such aps record time and place.

HRAY, for "hurry, record a yes"
