Bill Summary

An act to amend and repeal Section 69431.7 of, and to add Article 16 (commencing with Section 69840) to Chapter 2 of Part 42 of Division 5 of Title 3 of, the Education Code, and to amend Section 17053.87 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, relating to student financial aid, and making an appropriation therefor.

AI Summary

This bill aims to amend the existing College Access Tax Credit Fund (CATCF) program to focus its resources on providing financial aid to community college students who transfer to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) that have associate degree for transfer memoranda of understanding with the California Community Colleges. Specifically, the bill would require the CATCF moneys to be used for awards of up to $5,000 for these qualifying transfer students, rather than for broader Cal Grant B access cost increases. The bill also extends the CATCF tax credit program until 2028, which allows taxpayers to receive a 50% credit for contributions to the fund.
