	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Roger Hernández

                        FEBRUARY 21, 2012

   An act to add Section 87482.3 to the Education Code, relating to
community colleges.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1826, as introduced, Roger Hernández. Community colleges:
full-time instructors.
   (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
adopt regulations that establish minimum standards regarding the
percentage of hours of credit instruction that full-time instructors
are required to teach.
   This bill would prohibit a full-time instructor for a community
college district from being assigned a teaching workload that
includes overload or extra assignments if the overload or extra
assignments exceed 50% of a full-time workload in a semester,
quarter, or summer term that commences on or after January 1, 2013.
The bill would provide that this prohibition would not supersede the
pertinent requirements of a collective bargaining agreement
containing restrictions regarding limitations on overload or extra
assignments that are more stringent than the limitations imposed by
the bill. With respect to a community college district with a
collective bargaining agreement that, as of January 1, 2013,
prohibits a full-time instructor from being assigned a teaching
workload that includes overload or extra assignments if the overload
or extra assignments exceed 50% of a full-time workload, the
prohibition in the bill would become operative on January 1, 2014.
   To the extent that this bill would impose new duties on community
college districts, it would constitute a state-mandated local
program.
   (2) 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.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 87482.3 is added to the Education Code, to
read:
   87482.3.  (a) Except as provided in subdivisions (b) and (c), a
full-time instructor for a community college district shall not be
assigned a teaching workload that includes overload or extra
assignments if the overload or extra assignments exceed 50 percent of
a full-time workload in a semester, quarter, or summer term that
commences on or after January 1, 2013.
   (b) The prohibition in subdivision (a) shall not supersede the
pertinent requirements of a collective bargaining agreement
containing restrictions regarding limitations on overload or extra
assignments that are more stringent than the limitations in
subdivision (a).
   (c) With respect to a community college district with a collective
bargaining agreement that, as of January 1, 2013, prohibits a
full-time instructor from being assigned a teaching workload that
includes overload or extra assignments if the overload or extra
assignments exceed 50 percent of a full-time workload, the
prohibition in subdivision (a) shall become operative on January 1,
2014.
  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.
