Community colleges: enrollment and registration: incumbent health care workers.

Abstract

(1) Existing law establishes the California Community Colleges under the administration of the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges. Existing law requires the board of governors to prescribe minimum standards for the formation and operation of, and to exercise general supervision over, the California Community Colleges. The bill would require a community college with a limited enrollment course or program, as defined, to ensure that at least 15 percent of the admitted students, but no less than 3 students per incoming cohort, in the course or program are incumbent health care workers, as provided. The bill would require a community college that administers a priority enrollment system to grant priority in that system to students who are incumbent health care workers, as specified. The bill would define "incumbent health care worker" and "health care facility" for purposes of these provisions. The bill would repeal these provisions on January 1, 2034. (2) Existing law authorizes a community college registered nursing program, if it determines that the number of applicants to the program exceeds its capacity, to admit students to the program using a multicriteria screening process, a random selection process, or a blended combination of random selection and a multicriteria screening process, as specified. Existing law repeals these provisions relating to admission to community college registered nursing programs on January 1, 2025. This bill would extend operation of these provisions indefinitely. The bill, until January 1, 2034, would require at least 15 percent of the admitted students, but no less than 3 students per incoming cohort, in a community college registered nursing program to be incumbent health care workers, as provided, and would define "incumbent health care worker" and "health care facility" for purposes of these provisions.
