The commission shall annually adjust the maximum household income and asset levels based on the percentage change in the cost of living within the meaning of paragraph (1) of subdivision (e) of Section 8 of Article XIII
<html:span class="ThinSpace"/>
B of the California Constitution. The maximum household income and asset levels applicable to a renewing recipient shall be the greater of the adjusted maximum household income and asset levels or the maximum household income

For a recipient who was initially awarded a Cal Grant for an academic year before the 2011–12 academic year, the maximum household income and asset levels shall be the greater of the adjusted maximum household income and asset levels or the 2010–11 academic year maximum household income and asset levels. An applicant or renewal recipient who qualifies to be considered under the simplified needs test established by federal law for student assistance shall be presumed to meet the asset level test under this section. Before disbursing any Cal Grant funds, a qualifying institution shall be obligated, under the terms of its institutional participation agreement with the commission, to resolve any conflicts that may exist in the data the institution possesses relating to that individual.

Notify renewal Cal Grant recipients attending an institution that is ineligible for initial and renewal Cal Grant awards at the institution under subparagraph (C) or (F) that the student’s Cal Grant award will be reduced by 20 percent, or eliminated, as appropriate, if the student attends the ineligible institution in an academic year in which
the institution is ineligible.

<html:p>
(iii)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Provide initial and renewal Cal Grant recipients seeking to attend, or attending, an institution that is ineligible for initial and renewal Cal Grant awards at the institution under subparagraph (C) or (F) with a complete list of all California postsecondary educational institutions at which the student would be eligible to receive an unreduced Cal Grant award.

<html:p>
(D)

<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
If the number of requests to participate exceeds the amount of available grant funding for the program, the chancellor’s office shall prioritize awarding grants to community colleges with the highest number of Native American students. Identifying Native American students eligible
for the program should be based on state and federal tribal recognition, linear descendancy, and community involvement. A participating community college is encouraged to request additional data to determine the eligibility of student participants and potential student participants from local tribal communities and local educational agencies.

The California Career Passport Program is hereby established. The program shall be administered by the chancellor’s office, in partnership with the Office of Cradle-to-Career Data and the Labor and Workforce Development Agency, for the purpose of developing a Career Passport that provides an individual a secure digital tool displaying their preparation for employment, academic records, and credit for prior learning, which may include, but is not limited to, military service.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(2)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
An individual may use their Career Passport to curate their relevant validated skills, which may include skills attributable to verifiable credentials and academic records, in a shareable format for skills-based and competency-informed
hiring by employers. An individual may share all or part of their Career Passport with outside entities.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(b)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
The program shall be developed by leveraging existing statewide tools for documenting academic learning, including, but not limited to, eTranscript California and other electronic transcript tools, and existing tools for validating learning in nonacademic contexts, including, but not limited to, providing credit for prior learning and the California Mapping Articulated Pathways Initiative, and combining those tools into the Career Passport that can be integrated with employer-based hiring systems to support skills-based hiring.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(c)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
The program shall at least accomplish all of the following goals:
</html:p>
<html:p>

<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Enable the linkage, management, and monitoring of information of an individual’s verified academic and
third-party records of education, training, and development of validated skills for the purposes of hiring by employers.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(2)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Ensure that information contained in, and available through, the secure digital tool is kept secure and that individual privacy, including, but not limited to, personally identifiable information, is protected.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(3)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Provide individuals access to their aggregated information for use in applying for employment and in training at no or low cost to the individual.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(d)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
The chancellor’s office, in collaboration with the Office of Cradle-to-Career Data, shall convene agency and employer representatives to identify technical and policy considerations for building the secure digital tool described in subdivision (a).

<html:p>
(e)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
The chancellor’s
office, in collaboration with the Labor and Workforce Development Agency, shall engage with business and industry leaders collaboratively to ensure Career Passports are useful to, and used by, California’s employers, and shall work closely with the Department of Human Resources as a possible early adopter of Career Passports.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(f)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
The program shall serve the public good and remain accountable to it.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(g)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
The program shall comply with federal and state laws to protect individual privacy, including, but not limited to, all of the following:

$5,300,000 shall be allocated to a community college district to conduct a statewide outreach, marketing, and paid media campaign to promote the following messages: (i) many types of financial aid are available year-round to cover fees and help with college costs, such as books, housing, and other educational costs; (ii) students can contact their local community college financial aid office to get one-on-one assistance with completing and submitting financial aid applications and forms; and (iii) a
community college education can improve the lives of students and their families by providing financial aid, as well as career training and guaranteed transfer opportunities to get into a rewarding, good-paying career. The campaign should target efforts to reach ethnically diverse, low-income students in primarily underresourced communities who must overcome barriers in accessing postsecondary education.
