FISCAL EFFECT Minor savings to the Chancellor's Office of the CCC and to the districts. COMMENTS Background and Purpose . AB 1182 (Brownley)/Chapter 386 of 2009, eliminated, restructured, and reorganized 45 reports to the Legislature that are required of the University of California (UC), the California State University (CSU), and/or the CCC. AB 1182 was the product of a work group comprised of legislative AB 1713 Page 2 staff, the Department of Finance, the Legislative Analyst's Office, and the California Postsecondary Education Commission and included the work group's consensus recommendations on the reporting requirements provided by UC, CSU, and CCC, as well as the concerns raised by the governor in his veto in 2008 of a similar bill (AB 1821, Brownley). The CCC Chancellor's Office is sponsoring AB 1713 to further consolidate reporting requirements and to delete obsolete requirements. Analysis Prepared by : Chuck Nicol / APPR. / (916) 319-2081
