                        FEBRUARY 22, 2013

   An act to add Section 66027.5 to the Education Code, relating to
public postsecondary education.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1025, Garcia. Public postsecondary education: credit by
examination.
   Existing law establishes 3 segments of public postsecondary
education in the state, the California State University, administered
by the Trustees of the California State University, the California
Community Colleges, administered by the Board of Governors of the
California Community Colleges, and the University of California,
administered by the Regents of the University of California.
   This bill would require the California Community Colleges and the
California State University, and request the Regents of the
University of California, to provide information about credit by
examination opportunities wherever course and class information is
available.
   By imposing additional requirements on community college
districts, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
   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.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 66027.5 is added to the Education Code, to
read:
   66027.5.  (a) The California Community Colleges and the California
State University shall provide information about credit by
examination opportunities wherever course and class information is
available.
   (b) The Regents of the University of California are requested to
provide information about credit by examination opportunities
wherever course and class information is available.
  SEC. 2.  If the Commission on State Mandates determines that this
act contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement to local
agencies and school districts for those costs shall be made pursuant
to Part 7 (commencing with Section 17500) of Division 4 of Title 2 of
the Government Code.
