				 "Legalize Pedro's Paycheck" Bill Introduced 
 
			
			You all should have heard about Pedro A Ramirez by now, but just for the uninformed, he is a college student at Cal State Fresno who is an admitted illegal, the student body president, and recent unlicensed driver involved in an accident. 
One of his countrymen has introduced a bill that would make it state law that illegals can be president of the student body, AND, legally obtain money for compensation....in violation of federal laws.

 INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Lara
 
 FEBRUARY 17, 2011
 
 An act to add Section 66016.3 to the Education Code, relating to
 student government.
 
 
 LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
 
 
 AB 844, as introduced, Lara. Student government: students
 qualifying for exemption from nonresident tuition.
 The Donahue Higher Education Act sets forth, among other things,
 the missions and functions of California's public and independent
 segments of higher education, and their respective institutions of
 higher education.
 Existing law exempts a student, other than a nonimmigrant alien,
 as defined, from paying nonresident tuition at the California State
 University and the California Community Colleges if certain
 requirements are met. Those requirements include that the person has
 attended high school in California for 3 or more years, has graduated
 from a California high school or has attained the equivalent
 thereof, has registered at or attends an accredited institution of
 higher education in California not earlier than the fall semester or
 quarter of the 2001-02 academic year, and, if the person is without
 lawful immigration status, has filed a certain affidavit.
 This bill would add a provision to the Donahoe Higher Education
 Act that would provide that a student who is exempt from paying
 nonresident tuition under the provision referenced above is eligible
 to serve in any capacity in student government at the California
 State University or the California Community Colleges and to receive
 any compensation, as defined, that is connected with that service to
 the full extent consistent with federal law. The bill would also
 state that it is declaratory of existing law.   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
 State-mandated local program: no.
 
 
 THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
 SECTION 1.  Section 66016.3 is added to the Education Code, to
 read:
 66016.3.  A student who is exempt from nonresident tuition
 pursuant to Section 68130.5 is eligible to serve in any capacity in
 student government at the California State University or the
 California Community Colleges and to receive any compensation that is
 connected with that service to the full extent consistent with
 federal law. As used in this section, "compensation" includes, but is
 not necessarily limited to, reimbursement for expenses incurred
 while conducting student government business, or a scholarship,
 stipend, or voucher. This section does not constitute a change in,
 but is declaratory of existing law.
