Last week, the California Legislature passed Assemblymember Irwin’s Community College Placement Bill, AB 705, which changes the way in which students are placed in remedial courses at Community Colleges throughout California.
Four out of five California community college students must take a remedial math or English class at some point in their college career. For some, that’s largely repeating what they already learned in high school.
But under a proposed bill headed to the governor’s desk that passed unanimously Thursday in the state Legislature, many more students may soon avoid that path.

(Sacramento) – Legislation authored by Assemblymember Jacqui Irwin (D-Thousand Oaks) to protect children from identity theft is being implemented. Assembly Bill 1580 allows a parent, legal guardian or conservator to freeze the credit of a child under the age of 16. This is a significant step forward because credit bureaus do not typically shield a child’s credit record unless it has already been stolen. Now the State Attorney General Xavier Becerra is distributing a parent handbook on how to protect their children’s identities. During a joint news conference with the Attorney General Assemblymember Irwin said, “Parents now have one more tool to protect their children from identity theft.” Learn more in this Assembly Access video.
