SUMMARY : Makes statutory changes necessary to enact the 2011-12
Budget Bill.
The Senate amendments delete the Assembly version of this bill,
and instead:
1)Amend provisions of the education budget trailer bill relating
to the community college deferral amounts, identified in
Section 41 of SB 70 (Budget and Fiscal Review Committee),
Chapter 7, Statutes of 2011, to be applied beginning with the
2011-12 fiscal year and corrects a drafting error in order to
authorize payment of the 2010-11 deferral be paid in 2011-12
fiscal year.
2)Make changes to the provisions of the education budget trailer
bill to delay the implementation date of the community college
student fee increase of $10 per unit, from winter term to
summer term of the 2012 calendar year, in the event that the
trigger reductions are made operative by January 1, 2012,
pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 3.94 of the 2011-12
Budget Act.
3)Add legislative intent that reductions made by the community
college districts in the 2011-12 fiscal year pursuant to
paragraph (13) of subdivision (b) of Section 3.94 of Chapter
41 of the Statutes of 2011 reflect the one-time nature of the
budget reduction imposed in that section as a result of
delaying the $10 per unit student fee increase from winter
term to the summer term of the 2011-12 academic year. College
districts should, to the extent possible, make every effort to
implement reductions in a manner that will minimize the impact
on course offerings and programs needed by students to achieve
their basic skills, workforce training, or transfer goals.

4)Make a technical correction to change a Revenue and Taxation
Code reference in Section 15 of AB 114 (Budget Committee),
Chapter 43 of the Statutes of 2011, which changes the
calculation of General Fund revenues for purposes of
Proposition 98 to reflect the dedication of specific state
sales tax revenues to local realignment pursuant to the
2011-12 budget and holds schools harmless from the loss of
revenues.
5)Amend item 6110-488 of the Budget Act 2011 to add $23.8
million in one-time Proposition 98 savings to replace $23.8
million in other one-time savings that are not available for
reappropriation in the 2011-12 fiscal year. This budget item
reappropriates one-time Proposition 98 funds for several
educational programs in order to achieve savings in the
2011-12 budget.
6)Add Education Code provisions to clarify that school districts
can continue to receive Necessary Small Schools (NSS) funding
grants for middle and junior high schools, as well as,
elementary and high schools in 2011-12. These changes
authorize school districts that counted grade 7 and 8 student
average daily attendance and instructors for purposes of
receiving NSS grants in 2010-11 to account for them in
2011-12. Without these clarifying changes, California
Department of Education has identified and notified several
school districts that would lose anticipated NSS funding for
2011-12 fiscal year.
7)Add an appropriation allowing this bill to take effect
immediately upon enactment.
AS PASSED BY THE ASSEMBLY , this bill expressed the intent of the
Legislature to enact statutory changes relating to the 2011
Budget Act.
