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 introduced, 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.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
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 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.  Sufficient
  The report shall provide sufficient  information
 shall be provided in the report  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.
