California State Capitol, Sacramento
Assembly Bill 194 (AB 194), Public postsecondary education: priority enrollment: foster youth, introduced by Assembly Member Jim Beall (D-San Jose) gives the estimated 2,000 current and former foster youth attending community colleges priority enrollment in four-year state institutions each semester.
This bill, until January 1, 2017, would require the California State University and each community college district, and requests the University of California, with respect to each campus in their respective jurisdictions that administers a priority enrollment system, to grant priority for registration for enrollment to foster youth or former foster youth, as defined.
