An act to amend Section 66152 of the Education Code, relating to
postsecondary education.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 1201, as introduced, Fong. Postsecondary education:
student-imposed athletics fees.
Existing law prohibits the Trustees of the California State
University from allocating, and requests the Regents of the
University of California to not allocate, any fees that are proposed
by a student body organization, as defined, and imposed pursuant to a
vote of the students registered at a campus, branch, or location of
the respective institution, for purposes of supporting
intercollegiate athletics programs for any purpose or in any amount
not approved by the vote of the students.
This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to this
prohibition.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
