INTRODUCED BY   Senator Polanco
   (Principal coauthor:  Assembly Member Ducheny)

                        JANUARY 20, 1999

   An act to augment Item 6870-101-0001 of Section 2.00 of the Budget
Act of 1999, relating to community colleges, and making an
appropriation therefor.

      (Approved by Governor October 10, 1999.  Filed with
Secretary of State October 10, 1999.)

   I am signing Senate Bill No. 213.  However, I am deleting the
$4,000,000 appropriation for the Puente Project and the Extended
Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS).
   I previously vetoed augmentations of $3.36 million for the Puente
Project and $5 million to EOPS from the Budget Act of 1999.  In doing
so, I noted that the $45 million augmentation to the Partnership for
Excellence program could be used for these purposes at local
discretion.  While I appreciate the merits of these programs, I note
that the state has recently made a significant investment of $145
million in the Partnership for Excellence, which allows each district
to invest in these and other programs based on local need.

   The Budget Act of 1999 appropriates, among other amounts,
$2,236,714,000 from the General Fund to the Board of Governors of the

   This bill would augment this amount by $1,050,000 for allocation
for the establishment, commencing January 1, 2000, of 17 Mexican
International Trade Centers for the purposes of increasing Mexican

Fund to the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges
for the purposes of the Extended Opportunity Programs and Services
and Special Services.
   This bill would augment that amount by $2,000,000 for the purposes
of the Extended Opportunity Programs and Services.  To the extent
that these funds are allocated to a school district or community
college district, these funds would be applied toward the minimum
funding requirements for school districts and community college
districts imposed by Section 8 of Article XVI of the California
Constitution.
   The Budget Act of 1999 appropriates $15,218,000 from the General
