(1) Existing law establishes the California Community Colleges, under the administration of the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges, as one of the segments of public postsecondary education in this state. Existing law establishes community college districts throughout the state, and authorizes these districts to provide instruction at the campuses they operate and maintain. Existing law requires each community college district that administers a priority enrollment system to grant priority in that system for registration for enrollment to any student who is a recipient of aid under the CalWORKs program, as defined. This bill would also require each community college district that administers a priority enrollment system to grant priority in that system for registration for enrollment to any student who is a recipient of aid under the Tribal TANF program, as defined. Because this bill would impose new duties on community college districts that administer priority enrollment systems, 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 the statutory provisions noted above.
