CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2023–2024 REGULAR SESSION

Assembly Bill
No. 3110


Introduced by Assembly Member Mike Fong

February 16, 2024


An act to amend Section 84757 of the Education Code, relating to community colleges.


LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 3110, as introduced, Mike Fong. Community colleges: preapprenticeship programs.
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. Under existing law, community college districts throughout the state have established campuses where they provide instruction to students. Existing law establishes a system through which state funds are apportioned to community college districts based on specified formulas and identifies certain noncredit community college courses and classes that are eligible for that state apportionment funding.
Existing law requires the Division of Apprenticeship Standards to establish a preapprenticeship program for the purpose of establishing eligibility for any state apprenticeship programs, and to establish standards and procedures for the approval of a preapprenticeship program, such as requiring the program to include specified elements.
This bill would provide that courses associated with these preapprenticeship programs are eligible for state apportionment funding.
Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: YES   Local Program: NO  

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