AB 662: Postsecondary education: mixed-use intersegmental educational facility in the City of Chula Vista: South County Higher Education Planning Task Force.

Official summary

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

Existing law establishes the University of California, under the administration of the Regents of the University of California, the California State University, under the administration of the Trustees of the California State University, and the California Community Colleges, under the administration of the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges, as the public segments of postsecondary education in the state.

This bill would establish the South County Higher Education Planning Task Force for purposes of evaluating the feasibility of establishing a mixed-used intersegmental educational facility in the City of Chula Vista, with its membership appointed by specified entities, including, among other representatives, at least one representative from the Sweetwater Union High School District, at least one representative from the City of Chula Vista, and at least one public member appointed by the City of Chula Vista. To the extent the bill would impose additional duties on the Sweetwater Union High School District and the City of Chula Vista, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would require the task force to conduct specified activities, convene its first meeting on or before July 1, 2026, and submit a report of its findings and recommendations to the appropriate policy and fiscal committees of the Legislature on or before July 1, 2027, as specified. The bill would repeal these provisions as of January 1, 2031.

This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the City of Chula Vista.

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, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
