Existing law establishes the California State University and its various campuses under the administration of the Trustees of the California State University. Existing law provides that the name California State University and the names of various campuses of the California State University, and abbreviations of those names, including Cal Maritime, are the property of the state, and prohibits the use of any of these names without the permission of the trustees. Under existing law, a violation of this provision is punishable as a misdemeanor.
This bill would add Cal Poly Maritime and Cal Poly Maritime Academy to the list of abbreviations of campus names of the California State University that are the property of the state. By expanding the scope of a crime, the bill would create a state-mandated local program.
This bill would require the Trustees of the California State University, on or before January 1, 2028, to submit a report to the Legislature regarding the Cal Poly Maritime Academy following its integration with California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, as provided.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
