	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   ACR 95, Gomez. California Community Colleges: part-time faculty
and classified employees.
   This measure would express the intent of the Legislature that
community college districts not reduce the hours of part-time faculty
or part-time classified employees for the purpose of avoiding
implementation of the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care
Act.



   WHEREAS, The provisions of the federal Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act (PPACA) relating to employer shared
responsibility require large employers, including California
community college districts, to provide minimum essential health care
coverage for anyone working an average of at least 30 hours per
week; and
   WHEREAS, Assembly Concurrent Resolution 138 of the 2009-10 Regular
Session, chaptered as Resolution Chapter 142 of the Statutes of
2010, expressed the intent of the Legislature that part-time and
temporary faculty receive pay and benefits that are equal to those of
specified tenured and tenure-track faculty, to the extent funding is
provided; and
   WHEREAS, The Internal Revenue Service's final ruling in the Shared
Responsibility for Employers Regarding Health Coverage defines
service hours to include work paid outside of the classroom,
including office hours and preparation, for purposes of calculating
full-time employment status; and
   WHEREAS, Individual college and university employers across the
United States have reduced the hours of part-time faculty and
part-time employees specifically to avoid compliance with the
provisions of the PPACA relating to employer shared responsibility,
the operation of which has been delayed until January 1, 2015; now,
therefore, be it
   Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, the Senate
thereof concurring, That it is the intent of the Legislature that
community college districts not reduce the hours of part-time faculty
or part-time classified employees for the purpose of avoiding
implementation of the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care
Act; and be it further
   Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly transmit copies of
this resolution to the Chancellor of the California Community
Colleges and to the author for appropriate distribution.
