	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1045, as introduced, McGuire. California State University:
Early Start Program.
   Existing law establishes the California State University, under
the administration of the Trustees of the California State
University, as one of the segments of public postsecondary education
in this state. Existing law requires, on January 1, 2014, and on or
before January 1, 2018, that the Legislative Analyst's Office, in
consultation with the university, submit a report to the Legislature
including specified data relating to the California State University
Early Start Program. Existing law repeals these provisions regarding
the Early Start Program on July 1, 2018.
   This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
   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 89007.7 of the Education Code is amended to
read:
   89007.7.  (a) The Legislature finds and declares that the
California State University Early Start Program was adopted pursuant
to Executive Order No. 1048 at the May 2010 meeting of the Trustees
of the California State University (CSU) with the stated goal of
facilitating a student's graduation through changes in policies on
fulfilling entry-level proficiencies in mathematics and English.
   (b)  On January 1, 2014, and on or before January 1, 2018, the
Legislative Analyst's Office, in consultation with CSU, shall submit
a report to the Legislature detailing the impact of the CSU Early
Start Program on student mathematics and English proficiency. The
report to the Legislature required by this subdivision shall include,
but not necessarily be limited to, all of the following:
   (1) Information on how the CSU Early Start Program increases
successful remediation rates as compared to the remediation rates
that existed in the 2010-11 academic year.
   (2) Information on how the CSU Early Start Program expedites the
student remediation process, or otherwise reduces the length of time
that students spend on remediation.
   (3) Demographic information on participants in the CSU Early Start
Program, including information relating to race or ethnicity,
eligibility for financial aid, geographic origins, and other
pertinent data.
   (4) The number of enrollees in the CSU Early Start Program,
counted statewide and by campus, including the number who eventually
earned credit from the program.
   (5) As observed one year after participating in the CSU Early
Start Program, counted statewide and by campus, how many enrollees
became proficient, how many  enrollees  did not remediate
successfully, and how many  enrollees  were disenrolled from
CSU.
   (c) This section shall remain in effect only until July 1, 2018,
and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that
is enacted before  January   July  1,
2019, deletes or extends that date.
