Section 69433.9 of the Education Code is amended to read:69433.9. To be eligible to receive a Cal Grant award under this chapter, a student shall be all of the following:(a) One of the following:(1) A citizen of the United States.(2) An eligible noncitizen, as defined for purposes of financial aid programs under Title IV of the federal Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C.

6364
6465 (b) Therefore, it is the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation to expand eligibility for Cal Grant Program awards to pending-status immigrants, such as pending asylees who are registered with the Department of Homeland Security, allowing them to receive a Cal Grant Program award that covers expenses at accredited California institutions of higher education.
