Summary

The bill amends the Welfare and Institutions Code so the Department of Social Services can award grants to qualified nonprofits for a broader range of immigration services, now including help with immigration bonds. It limits grant advances to 40% of awarded funds and bars legal services for individuals convicted of violent or serious felonies, though intake remains allowed. The change aims to improve access to immigration remedies for people living in or formerly in California.
