Public postsecondary education: admissions standards and criteria.

Summary

The bill directs the University of California and California State University systems to base undergraduate admission standards on the content standards, frameworks, and model curriculum adopted by the State Board of Education. It also requires a faster, annual process for school districts to submit high‑school courses for certification, with clear notification and duplicate‑course handling. The goal is to ensure high‑school curricula reliably meet college admission requirements and to make the certification system more transparent and equitable.
