                                                                    Page  2





          Education Fund. 


          FISCAL EFFECT:


          Minor cost savings for California State University (CSU) from  
          streamlined processes. 


          COMMENTS:


          1)Purpose and background.  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.
