Summary

Existing law establishes the California Community Colleges under the administration of the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges. Existing law establishes community college districts throughout the state, under the administration of community college district governing boards, and authorizes these districts to provide instruction at the community college campuses operated by the districts. Existing law requires a community college registered nursing program that elects to use a multicriteria screening process to evaluate applicants for admission to nursing programs to include specified criteria. Existing law authorizes a program using a multicriteria screening process to use an approved diagnostic assessment tool before, during, or after the multicriteria screening process. Existing law also requires a district that uses multicriteria screening measures to report its nursing program admissions policies to the chancellor annually, in writing.

This bill would extend the operation of these provisions related to community college nursing programs until January 1, 2020, and would require the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges to submit a report on or before March 1, 2015, and annually thereafter to the Legislature and the Governor that examines and includes, but is not necessarily limited to, specified information on nursing students admitted through the multicriteria screening process.
