Official summary

Legislative Counsel’s Digest (official, as of the latest version). Written by nonpartisan legislative staff; reproduced verbatim.

Existing law requires the California Community Colleges, on or before July 1, 2027, to adopt a common course numbering system for all general education requirement courses and transfer pathway courses, and requires each community college campus, on or before July 1, 2027, to incorporate common course numbers from the adopted system into its course catalog.

This bill would require, on or before December 31, 2027, the California Community Colleges to develop and submit to the Legislature an implementation and funding plan to establish a common course numbering and alignment system for career technical education public safety courses that is focused on regional, agency-compliant, and professional standards, as provided. The bill would require the system to include a phased implementation for firefighting courses, law enforcement education courses, and courses related to a modern policing degree program, as specified. The bill would make implementation of the system contingent upon the availability of funding.
