relating to cross-enrollment.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 361, Dunn.  Postsecondary education:  cross-enrollment.
   Existing law establishes a cross-enrollment program, whereby a
student enrolled in any campus of the California Community Colleges,
the California State University, or the University of California who
meets certain requirements may enroll without formal admission or
payment of additional fees in a maximum of one course per academic
term at a campus of either of the other systems on a space available
basis at the discretion of the appropriate campus authorities on both
campuses.  Existing law requires the California Postsecondary
Education Commission to prepare a report, based on information
received on or before June 30, 1998, from the public postsecondary
segments, on the program and to submit this report, with
recommendations, to the Governor and the Legislature on or before
December 1, 1998.  Under existing law, the chapter that establishes
the cross-enrollment program remains in effect only until January 1,
2000, and as of that date is repealed.
   This bill would extend the deadlines for the reports of the public
postsecondary segments and the commission to June 30, 2002, and
December 1, 2002, respectively.  The bill would require that, if in
the determination of the commission, the cross-enrollment program
appears to be underutilized, the report include the comments of the
commission with respect to the reasons for the underutilization and
options for increasing participation in the program.  The bill also
would extend the repeal date of the chapter that establishes the
cross-enrollment program until January 1, 2004.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 66755 of the Education Code is amended to read:

   66755.  (a) The California Community Colleges, the California
State University, and the University of California shall evaluate the
impact of the program established by this chapter, and shall report
to the California Postsecondary Education Commission on or before
June 30, 2002, on student use, revenue implications, and other issues
that may be identified to judge satisfactorily the program's
efficiency and determine whether it should be established
permanently.
   (b) The California Postsecondary Education Commission shall
prepare a report based on the information received from the segments
pursuant to subdivision (a) and, notwithstanding Section 7550.5 of
the Government Code, shall present the report, with recommendations,
to the Governor and the Legislature on or before December 1, 2002.
If, in the determination of the commission, the program established
by this chapter appears to be underutilized, the report shall include
the comments of the commission with respect to the reasons for the
underutilization and options for increasing participation in the
program.
  SEC. 2.  Section 66756 of the Education Code is amended to read:
   66756.  This chapter shall remain in effect only until January 1,
2004, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted
statute, which is enacted before January 1, 2004, deletes or extends
that date.
