Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to Bill SB 405 adds a crucial line ensuring that school counseling services address the needs of all students, regardless of their citizenship status. This change is significant because it promotes inclusivity and ensures that all students can access essential counseling services. Additionally, the amendment removes a specific provision about college and career development activities, which may streamline the focus of counseling but could limit some pathways for students wishing to prepare for their futures.
