What happened
Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed Assembly Bill 713, which sought to allow paid campus jobs for undocumented college students at California's public higher education institutions. The bill would have removed the requirement for students to demonstrate federal work authorization to qualify for campus employment at the University of California, California State University, and state community colleges. This was the second time in two years that Newsom struck down such a bill.
