	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 576, Block. Teacher credentialing: Commission on Teacher
Credentialing.
   Existing law establishes the Commission on Teacher Credentialing
in state government and requires the commission to consist of 15
voting members. Existing law requires the appointment of 4 nonvoting
ex officio members, one each by the Regents of the University of
California, the Trustees of the California State University, the
California Postsecondary Education Commission, and the Association of
Independent California Colleges and Universities.
   This bill would authorize the Board of Governors of the California
Community Colleges to appoint an alternate representative to serve
as an ex officio member in the absence of the California
Postsecondary Education Commission's representative.
