Bill	Pupil instruction: financial aid applications.	Existing law requires a school district, county office of education, or charter school to ensure that a grade 12 pupil who has not opted out, as specified, completes and submits a Free Application for Federal Student Aid or, if the pupil is exempt from paying nonresident tuition under existing law, completes and submits a form for purposes of the California Dream Act. Existing law requires the Student Aid Commission, on or before July 1, 2022, to adopt regulations that include, but are not limited to, model opt-out forms and acceptable use policies for the purpose of providing guidance on applicable state laws. Existing law requires the school district, county office of education, or charter school to exempt a pupil or the pupil's parent or legal guardian from completing a form if the local educational agency determines the pupil is unable to complete the form, and prohibits a pupil's ability to graduate from being affected by a pupil's failure to fill out a form.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20212022	AB 469	California AB 469 (20212022)	bill	Pupil instruction: financial aid applications.	enacted	Reyes	9	28	8	2021-02-08	2021-10-06	openstates	ocd-bill/0f3cafb9-ae1f-4d8f-bbe7-1f3fb2ffe0f8	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB469	cd7ba8dcae7e6da21d92b5255061720ef11fbe0bde439395bba0acd3fb74949b	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
