What AB 885 does, verified February 3, 2026
The bill aims to create a debt-free college fund for the University of California and California State University. This fund will be established in the state treasury and its money will be available for appropriation to these universities. The funds will be used to lower the cost of undergraduate attendance by either reducing tuition or providing loan repayment programs, or a combination of both. The goal is to make higher education more affordable for students in California.
