Assembly Bill No. 7 (AB 7), details a proposed amendment to California's Education Code concerning postsecondary education admissions. The bill suggests that various California higher education institutions may consider providing an admissions preference to applicants who are descendants of slavery, provided such a preference does not violate federal law. The proposed legislation explicitly defines "descendant of slavery" based on direct lineage to an American chattel enslaved person before 1900, with several specific criteria for qualification. This initiative aims to add a new article to the Education Code to establish this potential admissions preference.
