ARGUMENTS IN SUPPORT : According to the author's office,
statute and budget act provisions require the CCCCO to
submit dozens of reports to the Governor and the
Legislature, some of which are burdensome, inconsistent,
obsolete and/or duplicative, some of which can be
consolidated or moved to a more efficient timeline, and
some of which are no longer needed. According to the
author's office, the CCCCO is required to produce a total
of 43 legislatively mandated reports. This bill modifies
six of these reports in the Education Code.
