DIGEST : This bill revises current reporting requirements
of the University of California (UC), the California State
University (CSU), and the California Community Colleges
(CCC).
Senate Floor Amendments of 9/4/09 delete various provisions
to address concerns expressed by Department of Finance

unnecessary reporting requirements for the UC.
ANALYSIS : Existing law establishes the UC, CSU, and the
CCC as the three public postsecondary education segments
and requires the segments to report to the Legislature on
various issues.
This bill:
1.Eliminates 19 existing reporting requirements.
2.Moves 39 non-codified reporting requirements (primarily
required by the Supplemental Report of past Budget Acts)
into statute.
3.Stipulates that the 10 other non-codified reporting
requirements are no longer in effect.
4.Modifies 14 reporting requirements.
5.Authorizes the electronic submission reports, unless
otherwise specified.
Purpose . UC, CSU, and CCC are collectively required to
provide an average of 115 annual reports to the
Legislature. Some have become obsolete or duplicative,
while others do not provide clear direction to the segments
as to the content or legislative recipients of the report.
In addition, supplemental report language associated with
past Budget Acts requires many of these reports, but the
applicability of such language from previous years is
unclear.
This bill is intended to restructure and reorganize
existing reporting requirements to provide greater clarity
and prioritization for the segments and more effective,
manageable, and transparent reporting to the Legislature.
It is the result of a working group established last year
between the segments, legislative staff, the Department of
Finance and the California Postsecondary Education
Commission.

This bill is substantially similar to AB 1821 (Brownley) of
the 2007-08 Session, which was vetoed. The Governor
expressed concerns that the bill would result in
significant state-reimbursable mandated costs on CCC by
placing reporting requirements from supplemental reports
into statute. The most recent amendments to AB 1182 seek
to address the administration's concerns.
FISCAL EFFECT : Appropriation: No Fiscal Com.: Yes
Local: No
Minor savings to each of the segments from reduced
reporting and increased use of electronic reporting.
