			(1)	The Regents of the University of California endorsed, on May 21, 2015, the framework for long-term funding agreed upon by the Governor and the President of the University, pursuant to which tuition will not increase in the 201516 and 201617 academic years and the university will implement reforms to reduce the cost structure of the university and improve access, quality, and outcomes.
			(2)	The reforms included in the framework endorsed by the Regents will create capacity for all campuses of the university to serve more resident students, including by easing transfer from the community colleges, reducing the amount of time it takes students to complete programs, and using technology and data to improve allocation of available resources.
			(3)	In addition to the funds included in this appropriation and those described in the framework, other funds, including existing resources that can be redirected to higher priorities, such as those currently being used to provide financial aid to nonresident students, are also available to enable more resident students to enter the university at all of its campuses.
			(4)	Furthermore, it is the intent of the Legislature that those funds generated by an increase in the number of nonresident students enrolled in the 201516 academic year, compared to the number of nonresident students enrolled in the 201415 academic year, and increases in nonresident supplemental tuition, as approved by the Regents on May 21, 2015, be used specifically to support an increase in the number of resident students enrolled.
		(b)	To address immediate needs, the university is expected to enroll, no later than the 201617 academic year, at least 5,000 more resident undergraduate students than the number enrolled in the 201415 academic year.
		(c)	If the Regents provide sufficient evidence to the Director of Finance on or before May 1, 2016, to demonstrate that the university will satisfy the expectation enumerated in subdivision (b), the Director of Finance shall increase this appropriation by $25,000,000 and notify the Joint Legislative Budget Committee.

	2.3.	No later than December 10, 2015, the Regents of the University of California shall report to the Director of Finance and, in conformity with Section 9795 of the Government Code, to the Legislature, all of the following:

	2.	(a)	The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
			(1)	The Regents of the University of California endorsed, on May 21, 2015, the framework for long-term funding agreed upon by the Governor and the President of the University, pursuant to which tuition will not increase in the 201516 and 201617 academic years and the university will implement reforms to reduce the cost structure of the university and improve access, quality, and outcomes.
			(2)	The reforms included in the framework endorsed by the Regents will create capacity for all campuses of the university to serve more resident students, including by easing transfer from the community colleges, reducing the amount of time it takes students to complete programs, and using technology and data to improve allocation of available resources.
			(3)	In addition to the funds included in this appropriation and those described in the framework, other funds, including existing resources that can be redirected to higher priorities, such as those currently being used to provide financial aid to nonresident students, are also available to enable more resident students to enter the university at all of its campuses.
			(4)	Furthermore, it is the intent of the Legislature that those funds generated by an increase in the number of nonresident students enrolled in the 201516 academic year, compared to the number of nonresident students enrolled in the 201415 academic year, and increases in nonresident supplemental tuition, as approved by the Regents on May 21, 2015, be used specifically to support an increase in the number of resident students enrolled.
		(b)	To address immediate needs, the university is expected to enroll, no later than the 201617 academic year, at least 5,000 more resident undergraduate students than the number enrolled in the 201415 academic year.
		(c)	If the Regents provide sufficient evidence to the Director of Finance on or before May 1, 2016, to demonstrate that the university will satisfy the expectation enumerated in subdivision (b), the Director of Finance shall increase this appropriation by $25,000,000 and notify the Joint Legislative Budget Committee.

		(c)	(1)	Therefore, at a minimum, the Regents shall, when considering compensation for any employee designated to be in the Senior Management Group, use a market reference zone that includes state employees.
			(2)	At a minimum, the Regents shall identify all comparable positions from the lists included in subdivision (l) of Section 8 of Article III of the California Constitution and Article 1 (commencing with Section 11550) of Chapter 6 of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code.

2. $11 million for trade corridor improvements;

4. $5 million for the State Highway Operations and Protection Program.
