Existing law requires the California State University to offer undergraduate and graduate instruction through the master's degree in the liberal arts and sciences and professional education. Existing law authorizes research, scholarship, and creative activity in support of the university's undergraduate and graduate instructional mission.

Of that amount, $1,300,000 would be allocated to California State University, Stanislaus, for expenditure for maintenance and operation of physical facilities located on the site of the Stockton Development Center, and $300,000 would be allocated to the trustees for purposes of funding a feasibility study regarding the site to be conducted by the trustees, the Department of General Services, the Department of Finance, and the City of Stockton, as required by the bill. The study would be required to be completed by September 1, 2000.The Budget Act of 1999 appropriates, among other amounts, $2,190,847,000 for support of the California State University. Of this amount, the act specifies that $1,700,000 is for conversion of the Stockton Developmental Center into the Regional and Continuing Education Center at California State University, Stanislaus. The Budget Act of 1999 also declares the intent of the Legislature to annually provide funds for this purpose through the 2001-02 fiscal year. This bill would delete the reference to the 2001-02 fiscal year from this declaration of legislative intent. (2) Existing law establishes public postsecondary, secondary, and elementary schools throughout the state. Among the public postsecondary schools are the various institutions that comprise the California State University system. The public secondary and elementary schools are administered by the various school districts and county offices of education. This bill would appropriate, without regard to fiscal year, $2,300,000 from the General Fund.
