          *********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE ***********
             The following information is revised to reflect amendments 
                     adopted by the committee on August 27, 2015


          Bill  
          Summary:  This bill authorizes schools that maintain grades 9  
          through 12, the California Community Colleges (CCC) and the  
          California State University (CSU) and requests the University of  
          California (UC) to designate a Dream Resource Liaison on each of  
          their campuses and authorizes the governing boards of the  
          segments to accept private funds to establish and operate  
          centers.


          Fiscal  
          Impact:  This bill creates major cost pressures that would not  
          be eligible for reimbursement as a state mandate since its  
          requirements are permissive.

           Cost pressure in the tens of millions for Dream Resource  
            Liaisons to be designated at each campus maintaining grades 9

            through 12. 

           Cost pressure of $100,000 per campus ($11.3 million statewide)  
            to the CCC to support a Dream Resource Liaison position to the  
            extent campuses choose to designate one.  (Proposition 98)

           Cost pressure of $60,000 to the CCC Chancellor's Office for  
            one part-time position to support oversight of Dream Resource  
            Centers to the extent they are established.  (General Fund)

           The CSU indicates that there may be a cost pressure to hire an  
            additional staff member at some campuses at a cost of $70,000  
            each.  (General Fund)

           No costs to the UC because each campus currently has a Dream  
            Resource Liaison.


          Committee  
          Amendments:  Expand the bill to encourage school district and  
          county offices of education governing boards that maintain  
          grades 9 through 12 to have a Dream Resource Liaison at each  
          campus.  Amend to encourage, rather than require, the CCC and  
          CSU campuses to designate a liaison to eliminate the  
          reimbursable mandate for CCCs.
