CA AB1118

Requires community college districts to waive the $46 per unit per semester enrollment fee for resident students in their first academic year of enrollment.

Establishes that community college districts must determine student eligibility for the new first-year fee waiver, which constitutes a state-mandated local program.

Provides that if the Commission on State Mandates determines the bill creates state-mandated costs, reimbursement shall be made pursuant to existing state mandate reimbursement procedures under Government Code Part 7.

Maintains existing fee waiver requirements for students demonstrating financial need, recipients of public assistance, homeless youth, dependents of California National Guard members, and survivors of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
