CSA1 Bill Id:AB 114

Author:(Committee on Budget)

As Amended Ver:August 30, 2019

Majority vote. Budget Bill Appropriation Takes Effect Immediately

SUMMARY:

This bill is a clean-up budget trailer bill related to K-12 and higher education.

The Senate Amendments:

1. Extends the Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum deadlines by one year. Specifically, extends the deadline for submission by the Instructional Quality Commission to on or before December 31, 2020, and for adoption by the State Board of Education to on or before March 31, 2021.
2. Amends the School Employees Summer Assistance program to ensure eligible employees are able to participate, including those who worked during previous summer breaks but not within the time period for which they applied for the program. Other technical amendments are included to clarify implementation of the program.
3. Specifies that competitive grant awardees under the Educator Workforce Investment Grant Program funds are subject to a maximum of an eight percent indirect cost rate.
4. Exempts the payments the state makes to the California State Teachers Retirement System (CalSTRS) and the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) on behalf of Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) from the LEAs' routine restricted maintenance account contribution calculation for 2018-19. Absent this change, many LEAs would be out of compliance with the facilities bond program.
5. Clarifies that the members of the Early Childhood Policy Council shall serve at the pleasure of the appointing authority for terms not to exceed six years. In addition, specifies that the parent advisory committee and the workforce advisory committee shall each have nine members (the Governor, the Speaker of the Assembly and the Senate Rules Committee each have three appointments) and specifies the type of representative members for each of the appointing authorities.
6. Increases the General Fund appropriation for the Early Learning and Care Infrastructure Grant Program by $102.3 million and decreases the General Fund appropriation for the Early Learning and Care Workforce Grant by $45 million. Conforming adjustments are made in budget bill clean-up to adjust federal funding for child care programs by the same amount. These adjustments result in a net zero impact and reflect changes to the distribution of federal funds and General Fund in child care programs to align with allowable uses of federal funds.
7. Clarifies that funding for a necessary small special education local plan area shall be adjusted to reflect the 2019-20 statewide target increase for special education funding included in the 2019-20 budget act. Makes technical amendments to correctly apply a cost of living adjustment for the 2019-20 year for special education funding.
8. Specifies the data set used to calculate grants under the Special Education Early Intervention Preschool Grant and clarifies that funds received through this grant program are unrestricted in nature.
9. Adjusts one-time Proposition 98 funding to Norco Community College by providing $1 million for the veterans resource center and $500,000 for the workforce development program.
10. Allows the California Student Aid Commission to use 1.5% of funding available for the Golden State Teacher Grant Program to support administrative costs of the new program.
11. Adjusts the California Kids Investment and Development Savings program to allow the Scholarshare Investment Board to open college savings accounts for all California children born on or after July 1, 2020.
