                        FEBRUARY 14, 2012

   An act to add Section 70903 to the Education Code, relating to the
California Community Colleges.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1684, as amended, Eng. California Community Colleges:
chancellor compensation.
   Existing law establishes the California Community Colleges, under
the administration of the Board of Governors of the California
Community Colleges, as one of the segments of public postsecondary
education in this state. Existing law establishes community college
districts, administered by a governing board, throughout the state,
and authorizes these districts to, by majority vote, adopt a rule
delegating power to the district's chief executive officer.
   This bill would prohibit the compensation, as defined, of a
chancellor of a community college district, as defined, from
exceeding 2 times the  faculty  compensation  , as
defined,  of the most highly compensated faculty member in the
community college district. The bill would apply this prohibition
only to chancellors of community college districts who enter into or
renew a contract for employment with the California Community
Colleges on or after January 1, 2013.  The bill would require a
community college district to report the compensation of the
chancellor of that district to the Office of the Chancellor of the
California Community Colleges, and would require community college
districts and the Office of the Chancellor to provide that
information on their Internet Web sites, as specified.  
   By requiring community college districts to report that
information and provide it on their Internet Web sites, the bill
would impose a state-mandated local program.  
   The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.  
   This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates
determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state,
reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these
statutory provisions. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee:  no
  yes  . State-mandated local program:  no
  yes  .
