Summary

(1) 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 requires the board of governors to appoint a chief executive officer, known as the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges, and requires the chancellor to execute the duties and responsibilities delegated to him or her by the board of governors. The bill would also express the intent of the Legislature that, any legislation that, by its terms, applies to the state or its agencies, departments, or boards, shall not apply to the California Community Colleges, unless that legislation is directly compatible with the mission and functions of the California Community Colleges. The bill would express legislative intent that the California Community Colleges not be governed by any statute enacted after January 1, 2011, unless the statute expressly provides that the California Community Colleges are to be governed by that statute. (2) Existing law requires the board to employ and fix the compensation of certain employees as it deems necessary for the effective conduct of the work of the board and the chancellor's office. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, this bill would authorize the board to appoint an individual without permanent civil service status to a position classified as a career executive assignment if the individual has a minimum of 5 years' work experience in certain capacities. This bill would prohibit individuals accepting these appointments from having a right of return to state civil service upon termination of employment. (3) Existing law defines "state agency," for the purposes of numerous statutes in the Government Code, to include every state office, officer, department, division, bureau, board, and commission, except that, for these purposes, "state agency" does not include the California State University, with respect to specified statutes that are added or amended effective on or after January 1, 1997, unless a statute explicitly provides that it applies to the university. This bill would amend that definition to specify that "state agency" for these purposes also does not include the California Community Colleges, with respect to specified statutes that are added or amended after January 1, 2011, unless a statute explicitly provides that it applies to the California Community Colleges.
