INTRODUCED BY   Senators Alquist and Lowenthal

                        JULY 15, 2011

   An act to add Section 89517.5 to the Education Code, relating to
postsecondary education.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 25, as introduced, Alquist. California State University:
compensation.
   (1) Existing law establishes the California State University,
under the administration of the Trustees of the California State
University, as one of the segments of public postsecondary education
in the state.
   This bill would prohibit, on or after January 1, 2012, the
Trustees of the California State University from entering into, or
renewing, a contract that provides for a compensation increase for
any administrator of more than 10% using General Fund moneys in the
fiscal year during which the contract is executed, relative to the
immediately past contract for that same position, if in that same
fiscal year there has been a tuition or fee increase.
   (2) The California Constitution authorizes the Governor to declare
a fiscal emergency and to call the Legislature into special session
for that purpose. Governor Schwarzenegger issued a proclamation
declaring a fiscal emergency, and calling a special session for this
purpose, on December 6, 2010. Governor Brown issued a proclamation on
January 20, 2011, declaring and reaffirming that a fiscal emergency
exists and stating that his proclamation supersedes the earlier
proclamation for purposes of that constitutional provision.
   This bill would state that it addresses the fiscal emergency
declared and reaffirmed by the Governor by proclamation issued on
January 20, 2011, pursuant to the California Constitution.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
