One bill is aimed at addressing concerns of ever-increasing
student fees at colleges and universities with little advance
notice.
Governor Brown signed legislation that's intended to improve
communication between UC Regents and students --- ideally to give
families more time to financially prepare.
And because the cost of textbooks can be high, the Governor
signed legislation that would set up open source digital textbook
library. Students could access books for free, or print them for
20-dollars.
Another bill signed into law supporters called the "Student
Athlete Bill of Rights."
Under that bill, students who lose an athletic scholarship
because of injury would receive an academic scholarship
instead.
And low-income student-athletes would get help paying for
health insurance premiums.
