A proposed bill is moving forward in the state Legislature that would help college students avoid new loans. AB 154 would allow CSU and UC students to enter into so-called “income share agreements” with their campus. That means students would pledge a portion of their future earnings to their college or university in exchange for help paying present-day bills. The bill would call on the CSU and UC systems to each establish a pilot program at one of their campuses beginning in the 2021-22 academic year.
