eliminated, restructured, and reorganized 45 reports to the
Legislature that are required of the University of California
(UC), the California State University (CSU), and/or the CCC. AB
1182 was the product of a work group comprised of legislative

staff, the Department of Finance, the Legislative Analyst's
Office, and the California Postsecondary Education Commission
and included the work group's consensus recommendations on the
reporting requirements provided by UC, CSU, and CCC, as well as
the concerns raised by the governor in his veto in 2008 of a
similar bill (AB 1821, Brownley). The CCC Chancellor's Office
is sponsoring AB 1713 to further consolidate reporting
requirements and to delete obsolete requirements.
