| Governor's Message |
|---|
| To the Members of the California State Assembly: I am returning Assembly Bill 1856 without my signature. This bill amends statute relating to part-time faculty at the California Community Colleges, including redefining a community college part-time faculty course load as not to exceed 85 percent of the hours of a full-time assignment, rather than not to exceed 67 percent. As part of my veto message last year for Assembly Bill 375, I made a commitment to supporting community college part-time faculty in the Governor's Budget. This commitment is reflected in the 2022 Budget Act that provides $200 million in ongoing funding to incentivize community colleges to provide health insurance for part-time faculty at the community colleges. The bill is premature as it is unknown how many community college part-time faculty will benefit from the $200 million now available to districts, which will have a direct impact on the fiscal estimate of this proposed policy change. The bill is estimated to create $26 million to an excess of $150 million of Proposition 98 General Fund cost pressures not reflected in the state's current fiscal plan. For these reasons, I am returning this bill without my signature. Sincerely, Gavin Newsom |
