CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2023–2024 REGULAR SESSION

Assembly Bill
No. 1411


Introduced by Assembly Member Ta

February 17, 2023


An act to amend Section 68120.7 of the Education Code, relating to public postsecondary education.


LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 1411, as introduced, Ta. Public postsecondary education: systemwide fee or tuition waivers: online posting or notice.
Existing law requires the College of the Law, San Francisco, and each campus of the California Community Colleges and the California State University that has an internet website, and, if the Regents of the University of California adopt an appropriate resolution, each campus of the University of California that has an internet website, to provide an online posting or notice of systemwide fee or tuition waivers available to students.
This bill, without regard to whether the campus has an internet website, would require the College of the Law, San Francisco, and each campus of the California Community Colleges and the California State University, and if the regents adopt an appropriate resolution, each campus of the University of California to provide the online posting or notice of systemwide fees or tuition waivers. To the extent that the bill would impose new duties on community college districts, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: YES   Local Program: YES  

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


SECTION 1.

 Section 68120.7 of the Education Code is amended to read:
