Bill overview
This bill authorizes California State University (CSU) to conduct research and establish a process for determining eligibility for reparations claims based on genealogical connections to enslaved people. It allocates $6 million to support this research, which will involve partnering with other institutions and consulting with the California Legislative Black Caucus. The CSU must develop a system to verify descendant status by the 2029-30 academic year and submit regular reports to the legislature on the progress of the research.
