Higher education budget trailer bill.

California SB123 is a budget bill that makes various amendments to existing education laws and appropriates funds for postsecondary education. It updates sections of the Education Code and the Government Code to align with the state budget for 2023 and 2024. The bill aims to ensure that financial resources are effectively allocated to support higher education in the state.

Supporters of SB123 argue that this bill is a crucial step towards enhancing funding for California's higher education system. They believe it will provide necessary resources to improve educational opportunities for students and strengthen the state's commitment to postsecondary education.

Critics of SB123 may contend that the bill does not adequately address the pressing issues facing higher education, such as rising tuition costs and student debt. They might argue that simply amending existing laws without comprehensive reforms fails to tackle the root problems and could lead to ineffective use of funds.
