ACLU Resumes Student Fees Lawsuit

The American Civil Liberties Union (“ACLU”) has resumed its lawsuit against the State after Governor Brown vetoed AB 165. The suit alleges that the State failed to enforce the constitutional ban on student fees. The suit had been placed on hold while AB 165, which would have codified the ban on charging fees and implemented strict enforcement mechanisms, was pending. With the Governor’s October 8 veto of the bill, the ACLU has refocused its efforts on resolving this issue in court.
