INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Dymally

                        FEBRUARY 21, 2007

   An act to amend Section 87482.5 of the Education Code, relating to
community colleges.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 591, Dymally. Community colleges: temporary employees.
   Existing law establishes the California Community Colleges under
the administration of the Board of Governors of the California
Community Colleges. Existing law requires that a person employed to
teach adult or community college classes for not more than 60% of the
hours per week of a full-time employee having comparable duties,
excluding substitute service, be classified as a temporary employee.
   This bill would, instead, require that any person who is employed
to teach adult or community college classes for not more than 67% of
the hours per week considered a full-time assignment for regular
employees having comparable duties, excluding substitute service, be
classified as a temporary employee. If these provisions are in
conflict with the terms of a collective bargaining agreement in
effect on or before January 1, 2009, the provisions of this bill
would govern the employees subject to that agreement upon the
expiration of the agreement.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 87482.5 of the Education Code is amended to
read:
   87482.5.  (a) Notwithstanding any other law, a person who is
employed to teach adult or community college classes for not more
than 67 percent of the hours per week considered a full-time
assignment for regular employees having comparable duties shall be
classified as a temporary employee, and shall not become a contract
employee under Section 87604. If the provisions of this section are
in conflict with the terms of a collective bargaining agreement in
effect on or before January 1, 2009, the provisions of this section
shall govern the employees subject to that agreement upon the
expiration of the agreement.
   (b) Service as a substitute on a day-to-day basis by persons
employed under this section shall not be used for purposes of
calculating eligibility for contract or regular status.
   (c) (1) Service in professional ancillary activities by persons
employed under this section, including, but not necessarily limited
to, governance, staff development, grant writing, and advising
student organizations, shall not be used for purposes of calculating
eligibility for contract or regular status unless otherwise provided
for in a collective bargaining agreement applicable to a person
employed under this section.
   (2) This subdivision may not be construed to affect the
requirements of subdivision (d) of Section 84362.
