California bill would allow homeless college students to sleep on campus

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) – Lawmakers are considering a bill that would allow college students to sleep in their vehicles on campus parking lots and structures. 

Assembly Bill 302, sponsored by Assemblyman Marc Berman (D-Palo Alto), would require the California Community College system to make its college parking system accessible overnight to any enrolled student who is in good standing. 

Right now California law already requires community colleges provide homeless students with access to shower facilities on campus.
