summary

This resolution formally endorses California Assembly Bill 713, the Opportunity for All Act, which seeks to end employment discrimination against undocumented students in public higher education. It urges the California State Assembly and Senate to pass AB 713 and demands Governor Gavin Newsom sign it into law, rejecting a repeat of the 2024 veto of similar legislation. The ASUC also calls on UC Berkeley and other institutions to prepare immediate implementation plans to eliminate work-authorization-based barriers to student employment, ensuring equal access for all students.
