	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1862, as amended, Melendez. Postsecondary education: financial
aid.
   Existing law establishes various student financial aid programs
under the administration of the Student Aid Commission, and
establishes eligibility requirements for the receipt of awards under
those programs by participating students attending qualifying
institutions. Existing law, until July 1, 2019, establishes the
California National Guard Education Assistance Award Program, which
provides financial aid to qualifying members of the California
National Guard, the State Military Reserve, and the Naval Militia,
under the administration of the commission.  Existing law
requires the Legislative Analyst, on or before January 1, 2016, to
prepare and submit to the Legislature a report on the program. 
   This bill would  delete the sunset date for this financial
aid program, thereby extending the program indefinitely 
 instead require the Legislative Analyst to submit that report to
the Legislature on or before January 31, 2015  .
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee:  yes
  no  . State-mandated local program: no.
