Bill	The Community College Student Access, Retention, and Debt Cancellation Program.	Existing law appropriates $120,000,000 in the 2021–22 fiscal year to the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges, for allocation by the office of the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges, to support efforts to increase student retention rates and enrollment by primarily engaging former community college students who may have withdrawn from a community college due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, current community college students who may be hesitant to remain enrolled at a community college due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, and prospective community college students who may be hesitant to enroll at a community college due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Existing law authorizes a community college to use those funds to provide a fiscal incentive for students to reenroll, or for prospective students to enroll, at the community college.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20212022	AB 1958	California AB 1958 (20212022)	bill	The Community College Student Access Retention and Debt Cancellation Program.	enacted	Mike Fong	7	27	8	2022-02-10	2022-09-30	openstates	ocd-bill/be88b5d6-d297-4a3b-b9e0-e21f96808d62	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB1958	9bac0999a33e8bee46a4048755564d965ac314c4404e9b01cd6f0dcc8567a1e4	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
