   An act to add Section 89711 to the Education Code, relating to the
California State University.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 960, Rubio. California State University: campus-based mandatory
fees.
   Existing law establishes the California State University, under
the administration of the Trustees of the California State
University, as one of the segments of public postsecondary education
in the state. Existing law authorizes the trustees by rule to require
all persons to pay fees, rents, deposits, and charges for services,
facilities, or materials provided by the trustees to those persons.
   This bill would prohibit specified California State University
campus-based mandatory fees from being reallocated without an
affirmative vote of the majority of the members of either the student
body or a specified campus fee advisory committee voting on the fee
reallocation, unless the vote that established the fee authorizes an
alternative or automatic reallocation mechanism for that fee.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 89711 is added to the Education Code, to read:
   89711.  (a) Except as provided for in subdivision (b), a
California State University campus-based mandatory fee established
through an affirmative vote of the majority of the student body
voting on the fee, but not specifically authorized by statute, shall
not be reallocated without an affirmative vote of a majority of the
members of either the student body or a campus fee advisory committee
established under the policies of the California State University
voting on the fee reallocation.
   (b) A California State University campus-based mandatory fee
established through an affirmative vote of the majority of the
student body voting on the fee, but not specifically authorized by
statute, may be reallocated without an affirmative vote of a majority
of the members of either the student body or a campus fee advisory
committee voting on the fee if the vote that established the fee
authorized an alternative or automatic reallocation mechanism for
that fee.
   (c) This section shall not apply to campus-based fees approved
prior to the enactment of this section.
