LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 1287, Cardenas. Higher education: University of California: Dual Admissions Program. (1)An existing provision of the California Constitution establishes the University of California under the administration of the Regents of the University of California. Pursuant to this authority, the regents have approved the implementation of a Dual Admissions Program, under which eligible students would be admitted to a campus of the university contingent upon successful completion of the requisite criteria for transfer from a community college. An existing item of the Budget Act of 2001 appropriates, among other amounts, $44,753,000, as scheduled, for new and existing outreach programs that are aimed at improving the chances for pupils from a wide diversity of backgrounds to become eligible for the University of California. This bill would, without changing the total amount appropriated for these purposes, adjust the amounts scheduled for these specified outreach programs, thereby making an appropriation. (2) The bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute. Appropriation: yes. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1.
