California Assembly Bill AB2223 Latest Draft

 BILL NUMBER: AB 2223AMENDED BILL TEXT AMENDED IN ASSEMBLY MARCH 29, 2012 INTRODUCED BY Assembly Member Williams FEBRUARY 24, 2012 An act to  amend Section 11011 of the Government   add Section 84750.7 to the Education  Code, relating to  state property   community colleges  . LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 2223, as amended, Williams.  Surplus state property.   Community colleges: Santa Barbara Community College District.   Existing law establishes the California Community Colleges, under the administration of the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges, as one of the segments of public postsecondary education in this state. Existing law establishes a community college funding system, among the components of which is the apportionment of state funds to community college districts. Existing law provides for the calculation of the amounts of these apportionments on the basis of the number of full-time equivalent students (FTES) in attendance at community college campuses.   This bill, notwithstanding existing law, would authorize the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges to apportion full funding per FTES to educational centers in the Santa Barbara Community College District irrespective of the number of FTES enrolled at those educational centers.   This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the Santa Barbara Community College District.   Existing law requires each state agency to annually make a review of all proprietary state lands, with certain exceptions for, among other things, lands under the jurisdiction of specified state entities, over which it has jurisdiction to determine what, if any, land is in excess of its foreseeable needs and report thereon to the Department of General Services.   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.  Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee:  no   yes  . State-mandated local program: no. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:  SECTION 1.   Section 84750.7 is added to the   Education Code   , to read:   84750.7. Notwithstanding any other law, the chancellor may apportion full funding per full-time equivalent student (FTES) to educational centers in the Santa Barbara Community College District irrespective of the number of FTES enrolled at those educational centers.   SEC. 2.   The Legislature finds and declares that a special law is necessary and that a general law cannot be made applicable within the meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the California Constitution because of the unique circumstances facing the Santa Barbara Community College District.   SECTION 1.   Section 11011 of the Government Code is amended to read: 11011.

These lands shall include, but not be limited to, the following: (1) Land not currently being used, or currently being underused, by the state agency for any existing or ongoing state program.
