Summary

Official abstract published by the California legislature· summary

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 establishes community college districts throughout the state and authorizes them to provide instruction at the campuses they operate. Existing law authorizes the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges, in consultation with the California State University and the University of California, to authorize the establishment of community college district baccalaureate degree programs, as provided. This bill would authorize the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges to authorize the Southwestern Community College District to offer no more than 4 workforce-aligned baccalaureate degree programs, one each in forensic studies, allied health education and leadership, interaction design, and teaching English to speakers of other languages, as provided. The bill would require the Legislative Analyst's Office to, on or before July 1, 2031, conduct and present to the Legislature and the Governor an interim evaluation of any of the baccalaureate degree programs that are offered pursuant to that authorization and, on or before July 1, 2035, a final evaluation of those degree programs, as provided. The bill would repeal these provisions on January 1, 2037. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the Southwestern Community College District. This bill would not become operative if either AB 2694 or SB 960 of the 2025–26 Regular Session, or both of those bills, are enacted and take effect on or before January 1, 2027.
