INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Furutani

                        FEBRUARY 19, 2010

   An act to amend Section 88550 of the Education Code, relating to
community colleges.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2450, as amended, Furutani. Community colleges: economic and
workforce development.
   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
appoint a chief executive officer, known as the Chancellor of the
California Community Colleges.
   Existing law, until January 1, 2013, establishes the California
Community Colleges Economic and Workforce Development Program, which
is also known as the ED>Net Program, and sets forth the mission of
the program. Existing law requires the board of governors, as part
of the program, to award grants to community college districts for
leadership in accomplishing the missions and goals of the program.
Existing law requires the chancellor to implement accountability
measures for purposes of the program and to submit an annual report
to the Governor and the Legislature regarding program expenditures.

   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to these
requirements.  
   This bill would instead require the chancellor, in coordination
with the Legislative Analyst's Office and industry stakeholders, to
provide a study to improve and implement these accountability
measures. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee:  no
  yes  . State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 88550 of the Education Code is amended to read:

   88550.  (a) The chancellor  , in coordination with the
Legislative Analyst's Office and industry stakeholders, shall provide
a study to improve and  shall implement accountability measures
that provide the Governor, the Legislature, and the general public
with accountability measurements of the program that quantify both
employer and student outcomes and seek to specifically isolate the
impact of the ED>Net Program on participants.
   (b) The chancellor shall submit a report to the Governor and
Legislature on or about March 1 of each year. The report shall
provide sufficient information to ensure the understanding of the
magnitude of expenditures by type of expenditure, including those
specified in Section 88525, disaggregated by industry cluster and
region. The report shall also include the marketing efforts
conducted, the type of services provided to colleges and employers,
and the number of businesses, students, and employees served, and
identify the benchmarks and indicators used to demonstrate the
results achieved.
