	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 645, Denham. Public higher education: training programs at
military facilities.
   Existing law establishes the University of California, the
California State University, and the California Community Colleges as
the 3 segments of public postsecondary education in this state.
Existing law states that nothing in the public policy of the state
requires the establishment or disestablishment of any United States
Armed Forces training unit or class at any campus of a public
institution of higher education.
   This bill would declare that nothing in the law of the state
prohibits the University of California, the California State
University, or the California Community Colleges from coordinating
with the United States Armed Forces to establish training programs at
military facilities.


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

  SECTION 1.  In enacting this section, it is the intent of the
Legislature to maximize the use of closed or underused medical
facilities located on United States Armed Forces military bases by
establishing cooperative agreements with California's public
postsecondary education institutions to provide medical and allied
health education or direct clinical services, or both.
  SEC. 2.  Section 67600 of the Education Code is amended to read:
   67600.  (a) Nothing in the public policy of the State of
California requires the establishment or the disestablishment of any
United States Armed Forces training unit or class at any campus of a
public postsecondary educational institution or the prohibition of
employment recruitment by the United States Armed Forces at any
campus of a public postsecondary educational institution.
   (b) Nothing in the law of the State of California prohibits the
University of California, the California State University, or the
California Community Colleges from coordinating with the United
States Armed Forces to establish training programs at military
facilities.
