AB-95 Postsecondary education: Coordinating Commission for Education in California.(2025-2026)



As Amends the Law Today


SECTION 1.
 The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) In 1960, the State Department of Education published the Master Plan for Higher Education in California, which relegated each segment of public postsecondary education to a distinct role in California’s public postsecondary education system.
(b) Since the California Postsecondary Education Commission was defunded in 2011, California has been without a statewide postsecondary education coordinating body and remains one of just two states without a coordinating body.
(c) The state provides state funds and receives federal funds for various workforce development programs that may not work in a coordinated and seamless fashion to best prepare students and adults for high-paying jobs and careers.

SEC. 2.

 Article 2.3 (commencing with Section 66010.8) is added to Chapter 2 of Part 40 of Division 5 of Title 3 of the Education Code, to read:

Article  2.3. Coordinating Commission for Education in California
66010.8.
 The Coordinating Commission for Education in California is hereby established as a state career and higher education coordinating body composed of workforce, education segment, and employer representatives that establishes joint and regional plans and makes recommendations on state and federal funding related to statewide educational attainment and career education goals.
