LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

Existing law establishes the California Community Colleges Economic and Workforce Development Program to, among other things, advance California’s economic growth and global competitiveness through education, training, and services that contribute to continuous workforce improvement. Existing law authorizes the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges to award grants and project funds to community college districts for the program, as specified. Existing law requires the program to be implemented only during those fiscal years for which funds are appropriated for its purposes. Existing law repeals the program on January 1, 2025.

This bill would extend the operation of the California Community Colleges Economic and Workforce Development Program by 5 years to January 1, 2030.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.

Section 88651 of the Education Code is amended to read:

88651.

This part shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2030, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2030, deletes or extends that date.
