Community colleges: classified employees.
Summary
Existing law requires the governing board of a community college district to employ persons for positions that are not academic positions in what is known as the classified service. Existing law establishes procedures through which a community college district may adopt a merit system with respect to its classified employees. Existing law requires a community college district that has a merit system to appoint a personnel commission to prescribe, amend, and interpret rules regarding the merit system. Existing law requires the governing board of a community college district, including a district that has adopted a merit system, to fix and prescribe the duties to be performed by all persons in the classified service and other nonacademic positions of the community college district, except those persons employed as part of a personnel commission's staff. This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to the requirement that the governing board of a community college district fix and prescribe the duties to be performed by all persons in the classified service and other nonacademic positions.

MINOR
No substantive policy changes were made to AB 2293 between these two versions. The bill text amending Section 88009 of the Education Code (regarding community college classified employees) is identical in both versions. The differences are entirely presentational: the bill moved from a plain-text legislative format to a web page layout with navigation elements, and the Legislative Counsel's Digest was reformatted with labeled fields.
TECHNICAL
The bill text was reformatted from a plain legislative document into a web page presentation, adding navigation links (home, accessibility, FAQ, etc.) and restructuring the digest key into labeled fields (Vote, Appropriation, Fiscal Committee, Local Program).
Minor line-break differences in the Legislative Counsel's Digest where 'personnel commission's staff' was split across lines differently. No change to the legal meaning.
