Existing law mandates that when updating the history-social science curriculum framework on or after January 1, 2025, the Instructional Quality Commission consider including content on Native American experiences during the Spanish colonization of California and the Gold Rush Era.

SB 510 amends existing requirements to also include content on the contributions of African Americans during the same historical periods, with changes to be considered in curriculum updates or new instructional materials on or after January 1, 2026.
