Introduced by Senator Liu

February 20, 2014


An act to add Section 66010.96 to the Education Code, relating to public postsecondary education.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

SB 1196, as introduced, Liu. Public postsecondary education: state goals.

Existing law establishes the University of California, under the administration of the Regents of the University of California, the California State University, under the administration of the Trustees of the California State University, and the California Community Colleges, under the administration of the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges, as the 3 public segments of postsecondary education in this state.

Existing law states the intent of the Legislature that budget and policy decisions regarding postsecondary education generally adhere to 3 specified goals and that appropriate metrics be identified, defined, and formally adopted, based upon metrics recommended by a working group, to monitor progress toward the achievement of the goals.

This bill would require the trustees, the board of governors, and, as a condition to receiving a General Fund appropriation from the state, the regents to each develop and adopt a 5-year plan for making progress toward these statewide goals. The bill would require the 5-year plan to include, but not necessarily be limited to, specific goals for satisfying performance measures specified for each segment, respectively. The bill would also require the California State University, the California Community Colleges, and the University of California to report to the Legislature on the 5-year plans annually until January 1, 2021, as specified.

Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: no.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
