California students could earn a free bachelor's degree

CULVER CITY, Calif. — California is one of 24 states that allow community colleges to offer bachelor's degrees. 

If AB 2093 passes, it would enable low-income students to pursue one of 33 bachelor's degrees for free at any California community college. 

Assemblymember Miguel Santiago, who authored the bill, said students must attend full-time and not already have a bachelor's. 

Assemblymember Santiago proposes bills to boost downtown housing

California State Assembly Member Miguel Santiago has introduced a pair of bills aimed at increasing the supply of residential housing in the state, particularly in downtown areas.

Assembly Bill 2909 would expand the state's Mills Act program, which provides incentives for the restoration and preservation of historic buildings by private property owners, to include buildings more than 30 years old located in commercial zones.
