	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1826, as amended, Roger Hernández. Community colleges:
full-time instructors.
   (1) Existing law establishes the California Community Colleges
under the administration of the Board of Governors of the California
Community Colleges. Existing law requires the board of governors to
adopt regulations that establish minimum standards regarding the
percentage of hours of credit instruction that full-time instructors
are required to teach.
   This bill would prohibit a full-time  instructor 
 faculty member, as defined,  for a community college
district from being assigned a  teaching  workload
that includes overload or extra assignments if the overload or extra
assignments exceed 50% of a full-time workload in a semester 
,   or  quarter  , or summer term
 that commences on or after January 1, 2013. The bill would
provide that this prohibition  would   shall not
apply to a summer or intersession term, and  not supersede the
pertinent requirements of a collective bargaining agreement
containing restrictions regarding limitations on overload or extra
assignments that are more stringent than the limitations imposed by
the bill.  With 
    With    respect to a community college district
with a collective bargaining agreement that, as of January 1, 2013,
prohibits a full-time  instructor   faculty
member  from being assigned a  teaching 
workload that includes overload or extra assignments if the overload
or extra assignments exceed 50% of a full-time workload, the
prohibition in the bill would become operative on January 1, 2014.
 The prohibition in the bill would also apply to the workload of
supervisory or managerial personnel of a community college district
who are performing faculty work that is allowed under an applicable
collective bargaining agreement. 
   To the extent that this bill would impose new duties on community
college districts, it would constitute a state-mandated local
program.
   (2) 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: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.
