Summary

The bill adds a new Education Code section that defines youth caregivers and requires the state to develop a dedicated career pathway for them. It directs the Governor’s Council for Career Education and the California Workforce Pathways Joint Advisory Committee to assess needs, form an expert advisory group, and design curriculum and credit guidelines so that students caring for family members can earn high‑school credits and prepare for direct‑support jobs. The measure aims to support students who balance caregiving with school and address workforce shortages in health and human services.
