2024’s Assembly Constitutional Amendment 7 by Assemblyman Corey Jackson (D-Riverside) was passed the Assembly 62-18, but stalled and died in 2024. We hoped it was dead and buried, but it returned from the grave. The new version, also ACA 7 and also authored by Assemblyman Corey Jackson (D-Riverside), has passed through three Assembly committees, but hasn’t yet been approved by the full Assembly, though it is expected to.
The new ACA 7 will authorize discrimination in K-12, and in application to higher education. Its aim is especially to authorize race discrimination in admissions to gifted and talented programs and college financial aid.
