Summary

The bill would treat any campus‑based program at California’s public colleges and universities as a state‑approved employability program, granting enrolled students the CalFresh exemption. It also mandates limited data sharing between the Student Aid Commission and the Department of Social Services—once students give consent—to help counties and campuses connect them with basic‑needs services. The measure was vetoed by the governor and stricken from the file.
