ARGUMENTS IN SUPPORT : According to the author, "In 2008,
the Assembly Committee on Arts, Entertainment, Sports,
Tourism and Internet Media held an informational hearing
looking into the state oversight of the California
Interscholastic Federation (CIF), and the organization's
operation of state athletic competitions. The Committee
learned that the assignment to the CIF of administering
interscholastic athletic activities in California secondary
schools is subject to a five year sunset. Each five year
renewal period, according to the Education Code, is to be
accompanied by an Evaluation and Accountability Goals and
Activities Report to the Legislature and Governor. This
sunset review and report, in large part, provide the only
meaningful oversight which the state exercises over the
CIF. However, the distribution of the report makes such
oversight difficult, as the Education Code does not state
to whom the report must be given. Current practice of the
CIF is to deliver copies to the Speaker of the Assembly and
President Pro Tempore of the Senate, along with the
Minority Leaders of each house. Testimony in the
informational hearing determined that better legislative
oversight would be provided if the interested policy
committees were also given copies of the report. One of
the recommendations coming out of the Committee's
informational hearing was to have the CIF distribute their
Evaluation and Accountability Goals and Activities Report
to the Assembly and Senate Education Committees, as well as
the Assembly Arts, Entertainment, Sports, Tourism and
Internet Media Committee."
