Adult Education Program: immigrant integration.

The document changed from a plain-text chaptered bill format to a web page rendering that includes navigation menus, search tools, version history links, and metadata such as publication date (10/14/2025) and vote/appropriation/fiscal committee indicators. No legislative language was added, removed, or altered.

Section 2 was deleted entirely. It had stated the Legislature's intent to enact future legislation addressing challenges and barriers of accessing adult education for immigration integration, with a focus on English as a second language programs in local schools.

The definition of 'immigrant integration' in Section 84901(e) was expanded. It now explicitly frames the process as one where 'immigrants and the receiving society work together,' adds 'cohesive' to the desired community qualities, inserts 'linguistic' alongside economic, civic, and social integration, and adds a new sentence stating that service providers encourage immigrants to maximize their contributions to the economic and civic life of their communities.

Assembly Member Pacheco was added as a coauthor on the bill.

The bill was assigned Chapter 779 and the Governor's approval date of October 13, 2025 was recorded, reflecting its final enactment status.

Header changed from 'Senate Bill No. 670' to 'STATE OF CALIFORNIA AUTHENTICATED ELECTRONIC LEGAL MATERIAL' and page numbers were renumbered for the official chaptered publication.

Added a new Section 1 amending Education Code Section 84901 to define six terms: 'adult' (18 or older), 'carryover' (unspent prior-year funds certified by September 1, expressed as a percentage of prior allocation), 'consortium,' 'executive director' (of the State Board of Education), 'immigrant integration,' and 'program.'

Defined 'immigrant integration' as a two-way process in which immigrants are embraced and welcomed by the receiving society with effective, culturally relevant, and linguistically accessible programs and services that facilitate upward social and economic mobility, increased civic participation, and multigenerational integration to build secure, thriving, and inclusive communities.

The bill's title changed from 'An act relating to adult education' to 'An act to amend Section 84901 of the Education Code, relating to adult education,' shifting it from a standalone intent statement to an actual code amendment.

Fiscal committee review was changed from 'no' to 'yes,' meaning the bill now requires fiscal committee analysis before proceeding.
