	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1783, Committee on Higher Education.  Public postsecondary
education:  cross-enrollment.
   Existing law, known as the Donahoe 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.  Provisions of the act
apply to the University of California only to the extent that the
Regents of the University of California, by appropriate resolution,
act to make a provision applicable.  Among other things, the act
identifies common educational missions shared by educational
institutions in California and differentiates more specific missions
and functions among the various educational segments.
   A provision of the Donahoe Act, which is in effect until January
1, 2004, authorizes any student who is enrolled at any campus of the
California Community Colleges, the California State University, or
the University of California and who meets certain requirements, to
enroll, without formal admission, in a maximum of one course per
academic term at a campus of either of the other public segments, on
a space available basis at the discretion of the appropriate campus
authorities on both campuses.  Existing law authorizes a host campus
to charge participating students an administration fee, not to exceed
$10 per academic term.
   This bill would delete the January 1, 2004, repeal date of this
provision, and thereby extend this program indefinitely.  The bill
would also authorize a host campus to charge participating students
an administration fee that may not exceed an amount sufficient for
the campus to recover the full amount of the administrative costs it
incurs under this program, rather than the $10 limit in existing law.


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


  SECTION 1.  Section 66753 of the Education Code is amended to read:

   66753.  (a) (1) The Chancellor of the California Community
Colleges, the Chancellor of the California State University, and the
President of the University of California shall establish procedures
so that a student meeting the requirements of Section 66752 may be
certified by the home campus as to eligibility, residence, fee,
financial aid, and health status.
   (2) The host campus may require the applicant to submit additional
information as needed.  The host campus may charge participating
students an administration fee, not to exceed an amount sufficient
for the campus to recover the full amount of the administrative costs
it incurs under this chapter.
   (b) A student enrolled pursuant to this chapter shall be exempt
from participation in the matriculation services described in Article
1 (commencing with Section 78210) of Chapter 2 of Part 48.
  SEC. 2.  Section 66756 of the Education Code is repealed.
