   An act  relating to economic development   to

	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 848, as amended, Campos.  Economic development:
enterprise zones.   Apprenticeship programs. 

   Existing law provides for the designation and oversight by the
Department of Housing and Community Development of various economic
development areas in the state, including enterprise zones. 

   This bill would state that it is the intent of the Legislature to
enact legislation relating to enterprise zones.  
   Existing law requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction or
the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges, whichever is
appropriate, to make reimbursements to high schools, unified school
districts, regional occupational centers or programs, community
colleges, or adult schools for related and supplemental instruction
provided to indentured apprentices in apprenticeship programs, as
specified.  
   This bill would require the Superintendent or the Chancellor to
require recipients of reimbursements for related and supplemental
instruction to report annually, prior to receiving reimbursement,
information concerning the number and percentage of apprentices who
have received postsecondary educational credit and the amount of
credit earned, and the number and percentage of apprentice graduates
who have completed a postsecondary degree. The bill would require
this information to be formatted for collection and presentation so
as to best convey pupil progress toward degree completion for each
participating institution and would also require the Superintendent
or Chancellor, upon request, to provide the information to the
Division of Apprenticeship Standards. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee:  no
