under the administration of the commission.  Existing law
requires the Legislative Analyst, on or before January 1, 2016, to
prepare and submit to the Legislature a report on the program.

   This bill would  express the intent of the Legislature to

2019, after receiving and considering the Legislative Analyst's
report.   delete the sunset date for this financial aid
program, thereby extending the program indefinitely.
