          *********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE ***********
             The following information is revised to reflect amendments 
                     adopted by the committee on August 11, 2016






          Bill  
          Summary:  This bill exempts a student from the high school  
          graduation requirement of the California Community College (CCC)  
          Transfer Cal Grant Entitlement Program, if the student was a  
          California resident on his or her 18th birthday.


          Fiscal  
          Impact:  
           According to the California Student Aid Commission  
            (Commission) costs are about $1.4 million in the first year,  
            growing to $2.5 million General Fund by full implementation  
            (the fourth year) and out years, to provide a CCC Transfer Cal

          ?
          
          
            Grant Entitlement to students that would have otherwise been  
            denied due to not fulfilling the high school graduation  
            requirement.  This estimate assumes 177 new recipients would  
            be paid each year.

           Estimated one-time administrative costs of $183,000 General  
            Fund to contract out to update applicable recipient forms and  
            to update the grant delivery system to accommodate this  
            change.


          Author  
          Amendments:  Delays implementation to the 2017-18 academic year.
