   An act to add Chapter 14.27 (commencing with Section 67325) to

	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 271, as introduced, Ducheny. Public postsecondary education:
public education facilities bond acts.
   Under existing law, various higher education facilities bond acts
authorize the sale of bonds for the purpose of funding the
construction of facilities for the University of California, the
California State University, the California Community Colleges, the
Hastings College of the Law, and the California Maritime Academy.
   This bill would require, in appropriating moneys allocated to the
University of California, the California State University, and the
California Community Colleges pursuant to any public education
facilities bond act enacted on or after January 1, 2010, that
priority for funding be given to proposals for facilities that will
be jointly used for educational instruction by those institutions.
The bill also would authorize those institutions to expend any
revenues of bonds appropriated to the respective institution pursuant
to a higher education facilities bond act enacted on or after
January 1, 2010, for off-site mitigation necessary to facilitate a
campus expansion project.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
