Bill overview
This bill expands support for public postsecondary students with dependent children by requiring California colleges and universities to establish Basic Needs Centers and offer comprehensive childcare services and resources. It defines ‘basic needs’ to include childcare and clarifies that all available financial aid, such as the Cal Grant for students with dependent children, should be included. The bill also mandates that campuses provide information about childcare options and financial aid to students and update their websites with details about available services.
