   An act to amend Section 89416 of the Education Code, relating to
the California State University.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 165, Dymally  California State University: African American
Political and Economic Institute.
   Existing law establishes the California State University and its
various campuses under the administration of the Trustees of the
California State University. Until January 1, 2010, existing law
authorizes the trustees to establish an African American Political
and Economic Institute at California State University, Dominguez
Hills.
    Existing law expresses the intent of the Legislature that the
institute be funded by grants and contributions from private sources.
Existing law prohibits funds, or resources supported by funds,
available to the California State University for support of its
educational mission, from being redirected to support the institute.
This prohibition includes General Fund moneys, funds from the
California State Lottery Education Fund, student fee revenues, and
reimbursements and other income that otherwise would be available for
support of the educational mission of the California State
University. Existing law requires that, if any of these funds, or
resources supported by these funds, are utilized for the initial
startup costs of the institute, those funds are to be fully
reimbursed by the institute from funding subsequently received by the
institute through grants and contributions from private sources.
   Existing law authorizes the establishment of an advisory board to
the institution only if private funds have been donated to the
institute in an amount deemed by the trustees to be sufficient to
defray the costs of that board.
   This bill would delete the requirement that private funds in a
sufficient amount to defray the costs of an advisory board to the
institute be donated before that advisory board could be established.
Instead, the bill would require that no fees or any other form of
compensation be paid to members of the advisory board.
   The bill would declare that its provisions and the provisions of
existing law are not to be construed to prohibit California State
University, Dominguez Hills, from seeking nonpublic funds to support
the institute.

  SECTION 1.  Section 89416 of the Education Code is amended to read:

also be funded by grants and contributions from private sources.
   (2) No funds, or resources supported by funds, available to the
California State University for support of its educational mission,
shall be redirected to support the institute, including General Fund

otherwise would be available for support of the educational mission
of the California State University.
   (3) If any funds, or resources supported by funds, specified in
paragraph (2) are utilized for the initial startup costs of the
institute, those funds shall be fully reimbursed by the institute

or any other form of compensation shall be paid to the members of
the advisory board.
