CA AB1703

Increases maximum loan assumption from $20,000 to $40,000 for registered nurses completing 4 years of full-time service at state-operated veterans' homes, with $10,000 assumed per year instead of $5,000.

Creates separate loan assumption terms for veterans' homes service distinct from other state-operated 24-hour facilities, which retain the original $20,000 maximum.

Adds active military duty in the United States Armed Forces as a qualifying reason for extending the loan assumption agreement term beyond the standard one-year extension period.

Allows the Student Aid Commission to approve extensions longer than one year for participants unable to complete consecutive service years due to military duty, serious illness, pregnancy, or other natural causes.

Maintains existing provisions for extensions related to natural disasters that interrupt employment at state facilities.
