AI Summary
This bill establishes the California College Promise, to be administered by the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges. The bill would provide funding, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to community colleges that meet certain requirements, such as partnering with local educational agencies to support college preparation and reduce remediation, using evidence-based assessment and placement practices, and maximizing students' access to financial aid. The funding can be used by the community colleges to waive fees for first-time students who enroll full-time and complete financial aid applications. The goal of the California College Promise is to increase college attendance and completion, particularly for underrepresented groups.
