AB 713: Public postsecondary education: student employment.

The bill aims to protect students from being disqualified from employment due to their immigration status. It prohibits universities from disqualifying students who fail to provide proof of federal work authorization, unless it's required by federal law or a grant. The bill treats certain federal laws regarding hiring undocumented noncitizens as inapplicable to state government branches. It also considers student employment as a "benefit" for federal law purposes. The bill requires universities to implement these changes by January 6, 2027, and to reimburse local agencies for mandated costs if the commission determines that the bill contains such costs.
