According to the author, this bill will eliminate unnecessary administrative processes associated with utilizing funds from the California State University Lottery Education Fund. Under current law, funds from the California State Lottery Education Fund are distributed quarterly into the California State University Lottery Education Fund, which serves as the depository account for CSU lottery funds. CSU accounting staff then submits quarterly transfer requests to move these funds into the California State University Trust Fund. After this, funds are then distributed to campuses and programs. 2)Support from Controller. The State Controller supports AB 2215.
