New legislation signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom on July 2 will require California school districts to provide parents and guardians with information about local apprenticeship programs at the beginning of each school year.

AB 2179, authored by Republican Assemblywoman Laurie Davies of Oceanside, will affect students in grades 11 and 12, starting January 2025.
