Bill Subjects

Abstract

(1) Existing law establishes the California State University, under the administration of the Trustees of the California State University, the University of California, under the administration of the Regents of the University of California, and the California Community Colleges, under the administration of the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges, as the 3 segments of public postsecondary education in this state. Existing law appropriates funding, in the annual Budget Act and in other statutes, from the state General Fund for the support of these segments. Existing law also authorizes these segments to require their students to pay mandatory systemwide fees and tuition, among other costs, for matriculation at these institutions. This bill would prohibit the Trustees of the California State University from increasing the amounts charged for undergraduate tuition and mandatory statewide fees for California residents from the amounts charged in the preceding fiscal year unless certain increases in appropriation's related to the California State University are made in specified budget acts. This bill would encourage the Regents of the University of California to refrain from increasing the amounts charged for undergraduate tuition and mandatory statewide fees for California residents in the preceding fiscal year when certain increases in appropriation's related to the University of California are made in the same specified budget acts. These provisions would be repealed on January 1, 2017. (2) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
