What AB 1255 does, verified December 7, 2025

The bill aims to improve pupil instruction by enhancing resources for teachers to support newcomer pupils. It requires the instructional quality commission to consider including resources for newcomer pupils when recommending curriculum frameworks and instructional materials. These materials should be designed to meet the unique needs of newcomer pupils in English language arts and English language development. The bill also revises the definition of "migrant region" to include county offices of education, school districts, and public or private nonprofit agencies. This change is intended to provide more flexibility and options for delivering services to migrant children. The bill takes effect immediately, addressing the need for urgent action in supporting newcomer pupils and migrant children.
