Summary

The Senate Joint Resolution No. 8 formally supports the “Renewing Immigration Provisions” of the 1929 Immigration Act, which would let undocumented people who have lived in the U.S. for at least seven years apply for legal permanent residency. It highlights the economic contributions of undocumented Californians and the broad public support for a pathway to citizenship. The resolution does not create any new state program; it simply urges federal action.
