AB 2908 — Postsecondary education: omnibus.

Summary

(1) Existing law requires the governing board of each community college district, the Trustees of the California State University, the Board of Directors of the Hastings College of the Law, the Regents of the University of California, and the governing boards of postsecondary educational institutions receiving public funds for student financial assistance to require the appropriate officials at each campus to compile records of specified crimes and noncriminal acts reported to campus police, campus security personnel, campus safety authorities, or designated campus authorities and transmit a report containing a compilation of that information to the Legislative Analyst's Office. This bill would repeal the requirement that the information be reported to the Legislative Analyst's Office. (2) The Cal Grant Program establishes the Cal Grant A and Cal Grant B Entitlement awards, the California Community College Transfer Entitlement awards, the Competitive Cal Grant A and B awards, the Cal Grant C award, and the Cal Grant T award under the administration of the Student Aid Commission, and establishes eligibility requirements for awards under these programs for participating students attending qualifying institutions. As part of these eligibility requirements, existing law requires the commission to require that a grade point average be submitted to it electronically for all grade 12 pupils at public schools, including charter schools, each academic year, except for those pupils who, after being notified by October 15 of their grade 12 academic year, have opted out of being deemed a Cal Grant applicant. This bill would specify that the grade point averages for grade 12 pupils are to be submitted by October 1 of each academic year, and would require that pupils be notified by January 1 of their grade 11 academic year so that they can opt out. To the extent that these provisions would impose new duties on local educational agencies and community college districts, they would constitute a state-mandated local program. (3) Existing law requires the Legislative Analyst's Office to submit a report, containing specified information, to the Legislature on or before April 1, 2015, and a report with more limited information each odd year thereafter, regarding outcomes of the Cal Grant C program. This bill would require that the report to be submitted on or before April 1, 2018, include all of the information required in the April 1, 2015, report. The bill would require the Student Aid Commission, instead of the Legislative Analyst's Office, to submit a report with the more limited information on or before April 1, 2020, and on or before April 1 of each even-numbered year thereafter. The bill would also make conforming changes and connect a cross-reference. (4) Existing law requires the Legislative Analyst, on or before October 1, 2017, to submit a status update to the Legislature regarding the California State University's implementation of specified provisions of law and an assessment of the extent to which the online programs of the California State University are operating in a manner consistent with legislative intent and statutory requirements. This bill would make the deadline for that status update on or before January 1, 2018. (5) 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 these statutory provisions.
