 CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE—
 2025–2026 REGULAR SESSION

 Assembly Bill

No. 1122

Introduced by Assembly Member Bryan
(Coauthors: Assembly Members Jeff Gonzalez and Tangipa)

February 20, 2025

An act to add Section 76005 to the Education Code, relating to pupil instruction. 

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 1122, as amended, Bryan.
 Pupil instruction: dual enrollment.

Existing law authorizes the governing board of a school district to authorize a pupil who meets specified criteria to attend community college as a special part-time or full-time student. Existing law authorizes a community college district to admit to any community college under its jurisdiction as a special part-time or full-time student a pupil who is eligible to attend community college under these provisions.

This bill would require, commencing with the 2029–30 academic year, a local educational agency serving high school pupils that does not have an existing dual enrollment program to establish a dual enrollment program through a formal partnership or agreement with the governing board of a community college district, as provided. The bill would encourage
 require a local educational agency that does not have an existing dual enrollment program to establish a formal partnership through an existing program, including a College and Career Access Pathways partnership or an early or middle college high school, as specified. The bill would require courses offered through a dual enrollment program pursuant to these provisions to lead to a degree, credential, certificate, or transfer. To the extent the bill would impose additional duties on local educational agencies and community college districts, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.

Bill Text

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.

 (a) The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:

(1) Dual enrollment is an equity-based solution to increasing a college-attending culture for pupils across the state.

(2) Data has demonstrated that dual enrollment programs increase postsecondary degree attainment and therefore, increasing dual enrollment opportunities will help achieve the Governor’s goal of 70 percent postsecondary degree and certificate attainment among working-aged Californians by 2030.

(3) According to the Public Policy
 Institute of California (PPIC), 82 percent of pupils who participate in a College and Career Access Pathway (CCAP) partnership enroll in college within one year of graduating from high school, compared to the state average of 66 percent. They also found that CCAP students obtain associate degrees or certificates at higher rates than nondual enrollees. Moreover, the PPIC found that the average first-year grade point average in community colleges is much higher among CCAP students than nondual enrollees but lower than peers from other dual enrollment programs. They also found that CCAP students complete gateway transfer-level mathematics and English courses at a higher rate than pupils who did not participate in dual enrollment programs.

(4) In 2022, the Governor issued a roadmap with terms and conditions that the community colleges must comply with through the 2026–27 fiscal year. The Governor included two goals related to dual enrollment, as follows:

(A) Increase the percentage of elementary and secondary education pupils who graduate with 12 or more college units earned through dual enrollment by 15 percent.

(B) Close equity gaps in access to dual enrollment programs.

(5) In 2023, the Governor
