Existing law establishes various student financial aid programs under the administration of the Student Aid Commission, and establishes eligibility requirements for the receipt of awards under those programs for participating students attending qualifying institutions. Existing law establishes the Military Department, which includes the California National Guard, the California State Military Reserve, and the Naval Militia, to perform various duties regarding the state militia. Existing law establishes the California National Guard Education Assistance Award Program on behalf of qualifying members of the California National Guard, the California State Military Reserve, and the Naval Militia under the administration of the commission. Existing law requires the Student Aid Commission to report annually to the Legislature regarding program participation and also requires the Legislative Analyst, on or before January 1, 2016, to prepare and submit to the Legislature a report on the program. Existing law further provides that the program becomes operative only if funds are appropriated for the purposes of the program. The program becomes inoperative on July 1, 2019, and is repealed on January 1, 2020. This bill would change the name of the program to the California Military Department GI Bill Award Program. The bill would provide that the award could be used to obtain one baccalaureate, graduate, or doctoral degree or a certificate, degree, or diploma that leads to a baccalaureate, graduate, or doctoral degree if the person agrees to serve 2 years in the California National Guard, the Naval Militia, or the California State Military Reserve, as specified. The bill would delete the obsolete provision requiring the submission of a report by the Legislative Analyst. The bill would also delete the provision rendering the program inoperative on July 1, 2019, and repealing the program on January 1, 2020, thereby extending the program indefinitely.
