AB 1217 (Fong) would request UC and CSU to align A-G course list assistance provided to school districts with the frameworks adopted by the State Board of Education for the applicable subject area (i.e., have UC admissions conform to the CMF...). The bill also encourages consultation with the State Board prior to adopting changes to admission criteria, as well as shifts the process for high schools to obtain course approvals from August 1 to February 1 for the upcoming school year.

AB 500 (Quirk-Silva) would state the intent of the Legislature that prior to any change in admissions criteria or standards, the proposed change has been provided to the UC Student Association, the State Board of Education, and the CSU Trustees, and that both CDE and CSU have discussed the proposal at a meeting of their respective boards. Further, that Regents be provided notice of the meeting where proposed changes are discussed and to vote on these changes at the board level.
