On July 25, 2011, Gov. Jerry Brown signed a California bill (AB 130) that would allow undocumented immigrants to receive privately funded scholarships to attend state colleges and universities. AB 130 is set to take effect on January 1, 2012. The second half of the California DREAM Act (AB 131) would expand AB 130 to include some state-sponsored financial aid, which undocumented students are currently ineligible to receive. AB 131 is still in legislative committee.
