           SUMMARY  :  Contains necessary statutory and technical changes to 
          implement the Budget Act of 2012 related to higher education.

          1)Appropriate $37.6 million to the University of California (UC) 
            for the purposes of addressing a portion of the UC's employer 
            pension contribution costs for the University of California 
            Retirement Plan (UCRP).  This amount is intended only to help 
            address UC's employer pension cost increases that are 
            attributable to state General Fund and tuition-funded 
            employees. 

          2)Appropriate $365,000 to the Hastings College of the Law for 
            the purposes of addressing a portion of the Hastings' employer 
            pension contribution costs for the UCRP.  This amount is 
            intended only to help address Hastings' employer pension cost 
            increases that are attributable to state General Fund and 
            tuition-funded employees. 

          3)Appropriate $125 million for fiscal year 2013-14 to UC.  This 
            funding is contingent on:  a) the passage of the Schools and 
            Local Public Safety Protection Act of 2012; and, b) UC 
            maintaining its 2011-12 mandatory system wide tuition fee 
            levels through the 2012-13 academic year.

            mandatory system wide tuition fee levels through the 2012-13 
            academic year.
