Summary

The bill amends the Education Code so the San Mateo County Community College District can continuously use its unrestricted general funds to waive fees for the most financially‑needful students and to cover the full cost of attendance for district residents. It removes a sunset provision and an outdated reporting requirement, giving the district long‑term flexibility to address student financial barriers in a high‑cost area.
