	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1144, as introduced, Hancock. Community college apportionment.
   Existing law establishes the California Community Colleges under
the administration of the Board of Governors of the California
Community Colleges. Existing law requires the board of governors to
appoint a chief executive officer, to be known as the Chancellor of
the California Community Colleges.
   Existing law requires, unless specifically exempted by statute or
regulation, every course, course section, or class, reported for
state aid, wherever offered and maintained by a community college
district, to be fully open to enrollment and participation by any
person who has been admitted to the college and who meets certain
prerequisites, as specified.
   This bill would waive these open course requirements for classes a
community college district provides to correctional peace officers
of a state correctional facility.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
