	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Chau

                        FEBRUARY 22, 2013

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


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 950, as introduced, Chau. 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 faculty member, as defined,
for a community college district from being assigned a workload that
includes overload or extra assignments if the overload or extra
assignments exceed 50% of a full-time workload in a semester or
quarter that commences on or after January 1, 2014. The bill would
provide that this prohibition shall not apply to a summer or
intersession term, and 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, 2014, prohibits a
full-time faculty member from being assigned a 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, 2015. The prohibition in the bill
would also apply to the workload of supervisory or managerial
personnel of a community college district who are performing faculty
work that is allowed under an applicable collective bargaining
agreement.
   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), (c), and
(d), a full-time faculty member, as defined in Section 87003, for a
community college district shall not be assigned a workload that
includes overload or extra assignments if the overload or extra
assignments exceed 50 percent of a full-time workload in a semester
or quarter that commences on or after January 1, 2014.
   (b) The prohibition in subdivision (a) shall not apply to a summer
or intersession term.
   (c) 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).
   (d) With respect to a community college district with a collective
bargaining agreement that, as of January 1, 2014, prohibits a
full-time faculty member from being assigned a 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, 2015.
   (e) The prohibition in subdivision (a) shall apply to the workload
of supervisory or managerial personnel of a community college
district who are performing faculty work that is allowed under an
applicable collective bargaining agreement.
  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.
