A California bill that would make tuition more affordable for some low-income residents of Mexico to attend local community colleges in the state is one step away from becoming law. Assembly Bill 91, introduced by Assemblyman David Alvarez (D-San Diego), would create a pilot program allowing Mexico residents who live within 45 miles of the California border to pay in-state tuition to attend one of nine campuses in the San Diego and Imperial Valley Counties Community College Association. The program would begin in fall 2024, become inoperative by July 2028, and be repealed by January 2029, unless it is renewed by legislators.
