California AB 48 proposes a bond act to fund public university and community college facility upgrades.

California AB 48, the College Health and Safety Bond Act of 2026, proposes a bond issuance to fund improvements at public universities and community colleges. The act would allow school districts and community college districts to issue bonds up to certain percentages of their taxable property. The proceeds would finance facility upgrades, emergency funding, hazardous material removal, and affordable student housing. The act also mandates five-year affordable student housing plans for university campuses and requires public hearings and audits for transparency.
