AB 2491 California Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

The Every Kid Counts (EKC) College Savings Program.

Summary

Existing law establishes the Every Kid Counts (EKC) College Savings Program, which requires the Student Aid Commission to implement and administer a grant program that supports local governments and other entities that sponsor one or more comprehensive citywide or regional children's savings account programs to help families, especially low-income families with young children, establish and maintain college savings accounts. This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.
