	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Muratsuchi

                        FEBRUARY 21, 2014

   An act to amend Section 89225 of the Education Code, relating to

	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2708, as introduced, Muratsuchi. Public postsecondary
education: cross-enrollment: online education at the California State
University.
   Existing law establishes the California State University, under
the administration of the Trustees of the California State
University. Existing law authorizes, by the beginning of the 2015-16
academic year, any student enrolled at a campus of the California
State University who meets specified requirements to enroll, without
formal admission, and without payment of additional tuition or fees,
except as provided, in a course provided entirely online, as defined,
by another campus of the California State University on a
space-available basis. Existing law requires the trustees to
establish a series of uniform definitions for online education for
the California State University on or before January 1, 2015, as
specified.
   This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to the provision
requiring the trustees to establish uniform definitions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 89225 of the Education Code is amended to read:

   89225.  On or before January 1, 2015, for purposes of measuring

  These  definitions  developed by the
trustees under this section  shall, at a minimum, include a
systemwide definition for an online course where the course can be
entirely completed remotely.
