SECTION 78015-78016.5



78015.  (a) (1) The governing board of a community college district,
prior to establishing a vocational or occupational training program,
shall conduct a job market study of the labor market area, as those
terms are defined in Section 52301.5, in which it proposes to
establish the program. The study shall use the State-Local
Cooperative Labor Market Information Program established in Section
10533 of the Unemployment Insurance Code, or if this program is not
available in the labor market area, other available sources of labor
market information. The study shall include a California Occupational
Information System supply analysis of existing vocational and
occupational education or training programs for adults maintained by
high schools, community colleges, and private postsecondary schools
in the area to ensure that the anticipated employment demand for
students in the proposed programs justifies the establishment of the
proposed courses of instruction.
   (2) The governing board of the community college district shall
make copies of each job market study available to the public.
   (b) Subsequent to completing the study required by this section
and prior to establishing the program, the governing board of the
community college district shall determine whether or not the study
justifies the proposed vocational education program.
   (c) If the governing board of the community college district
determines that the job market study justifies the initiation of the
proposed program, it shall determine, by resolution, whether the
program shall be offered through the district's own facilities or
through a contract with an approved private postsecondary school
pursuant to Section 8092.



78016.  (a) Every vocational or occupational training program
offered by a community college district shall be reviewed every two
years by the governing board of the district to ensure that each
program, as demonstrated by the California Occupational Information
System, including the State-Local Cooperative Labor Market
Information Program established in Section 10533 of the Unemployment
Insurance Code, or if this program is not available in the labor
market area, other available sources of labor market information,
does all of the following:
   (1) Meets a documented labor market demand.
   (2) Does not represent unnecessary duplication of other manpower
training programs in the area.
   (3) Is of demonstrated effectiveness as measured by the employment
and completion success of its students.
   (b) Any program that does not meet the requirements of subdivision
(a) and the standards promulgated by the governing board shall be
terminated within one year.
   (c) The review process required by this section shall include the
review and comments by the local Private Industry Council established
pursuant to Division 8 (commencing with Section 15000) of the
Unemployment Insurance Code, which review and comments shall occur
prior to any decision by the appropriate governing body.
   (d) This section shall apply to each program commenced subsequent
to July 28, 1983.
   (e) A written summary of the findings of each review shall be made
available to the public.



78016.5.  (a) This section shall be known, and may be cited, as the
California Community College Baccalaureate Partnership Act. The
California Community College Baccalaureate Partnership Program is
hereby established for the following purposes:
   (1) To encourage baccalaureate degree-granting institutions to
partner with community colleges to offer baccalaureate degree
programs that will offer instruction entirely on the participating
community college campus.
   (2) To bring opportunities to earn baccalaureate degrees to areas
with low college-going rates or limited access to baccalaureate
degree-granting institutions.
   (b) (1) The Office of the Chancellor of the California Community
Colleges is authorized to annually award up to two grants, not to
exceed fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) each, to collaboratives
formed for the purpose of offering baccalaureate degree programs on
the participating community college campus or campuses. For the
purposes of this section, a collaborative is composed of at least one
community college and at least one baccalaureate degree-granting
institution. Pursuant to this section, the institutions participating
in a collaborative may share in a grant of up to fifty thousand
dollars ($50,000).
   (2) (A) Priority for the receipt of grant funds under this
subdivision shall be given to applicant institutions that:
   (i) Are located in areas of the state with the lowest
college-going rates and the lowest rates of earning baccalaureate
degrees.
   (ii) Demonstrate that the baccalaureate degree programs offered by
the applicant meet a documented labor market demand.
   (iii) Identify the resources necessary to offer those programs.
   (B) The funds granted under this subdivision are for one-time
startup costs of the collaborative.
   (3) The two grants authorized under this section may be awarded
under this section in any fiscal year only to the extent that funding
for this program is provided in the annual Budget Act. It is the
intent of the Legislature to encourage community colleges and
baccalaureate degree-granting institutions to use existing resources
to establish degree-granting collaboratives within the meaning of
this section even during fiscal years when this program is not
funded.
   (4) It is the intent of the Legislature that no collaborative
effort funded under this section may be terminated abruptly, thus
leaving its enrolled students without a way to earn a baccalaureate
degree. As a condition of an agreement for the receipt of a grant
under this section, a collaborative shall ensure that every student
who enrolls in the baccalaureate degree program offered by the
collaborative prior to an announcement of the termination of the
collaborative has an opportunity to complete the coursework necessary
to obtain a baccalaureate degree.
   (c) On or before April 1, 2012, the Office of the Chancellor of
the California Community Colleges shall submit a report to the
Legislature and the Department of Finance on the efficacy of the
program established by this section.
   (d) This section shall become inoperative on July 1, 2014, and, as
of January 1, 2015, is repealed, unless a later enacted statute,
that becomes operative on or before July 1, 2014, deletes or extends
the dates on which it becomes inoperative and is repealed.
