Summary

The bill adds Section 66093.2 to the Education Code, directing California State University trustees—and requesting the University of California Regents—to adopt policies that shield undocumented students from the academic and financial consequences of immigration enforcement. It mandates preserving tuition‑exemption eligibility, providing a Dreamer Resource Liaison to help students access aid, and creating a systemwide policy for grades, withdrawals and reenrollment when students miss classes due to enforcement actions.
