  • AB 2707 (Fong) - Community colleges: student housing: study. 
    This bill would require the Legislative Analyst’s Office to conduct a study evaluating the age demographics of housing-insecure community college students to identify the issues and unique barriers that community college students 25 years of age and older face in securing housing. The bill would require the Legislative Analyst’s Office to submit a report to the Legislature, on or before January 1, 2027, with the results of the study, including policy recommendations, as specified. 

FACCC Co-Sponsored Legislation

  • AB 2033 (Reyes) - Community colleges: electronic benefits transfer cards.
    This bill would require, on or before September 1, 2025, at least one convenience or grocery store located on each campus of the California Community Colleges to accept the use of EBT cards, as specified. 

  • SB 1388 (Archuleta) - Education finance: community colleges: general fund balance.
    This bill would prohibit, commencing with the 2025–26 fiscal year, a community college district’s annual unrestricted general fund balance, as specified, for a fiscal year from exceeding 16.7% of its unrestricted general fund expenditures for that year, unless the community college district meets specified conditions. The bill would prohibit a community college district from transferring unrestricted general funds to another fund if the receiving fund has an existing balance of 33% or more of the community college district’s unrestricted general fund expenditures for that fiscal year or if the transfer would cause the receiving fund to have a balance of 33% or more of the community college district’s unrestricted general fund expenditures for that fiscal year. For a community college district that violates the above-described prohibitions, the bill would require a community college district to distribute the amount of the annual unrestricted general fund balance that exceeds 16.7% to nonsupervisory and nonmanagement employees of the community college district, as provided. To the extent that the bill would impose new duties on community college districts, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
