apprenticeships.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1131, Frommer.  Apprenticeship programs.
   Existing law provides that reimbursement rate for apprenticeship
education shall be established in the annual Budget Act.  Existing
law applies the reimbursement rate to isolated apprentices and
defines isolated apprentices as apprentices registered with the
Division of Apprenticeship Standards in the Department of Industrial
Relations.
   This bill would limit reimbursement under the existing provision
for related and supplemental instruction provided to indentured
apprentices to reimbursement for instruction provided by a program
approved by the Division of Apprenticeship Standards.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 8152 of the Education Code is amended to read:

   8152.  (a) The reimbursement rate shall be established in the
annual Budget Act and the rate shall be commonly applied to all
providers of instruction specified in subdivision (d).
   (b) For the purposes of this section, each hour of teaching time
may include up to 10 minutes of passing time and breaks.
   (c) This section also applies to isolated apprentices, as defined
in Section 3074 of the Labor Code, for which alternative methods of
instruction are provided.
   (d) The Superintendent of Public Instruction or the Chancellor of
the California Community Colleges, whichever is appropriate, shall
make the reimbursements specified in this section for teaching time
provided by high schools, unified school districts, regional
occupational centers or programs, community colleges, or adult
schools.
   (e) Reimbursements may be made under this section for related and
supplemental instruction provided to indentured apprentices only if
the instruction is provided by a program approved by the Division of
Apprenticeship Standards in the Department of Industrial Relations in
accordance with Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 3070) of Division
3 of the Labor Code.
