	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 967, as amended, Yee. Public postsecondary education: executive
officer compensation.
   Existing law establishes the University of California, which is
administered by the Regents of the University of California, the
California State University, which is administered by the Trustees of
the California State University, and the California Community
Colleges, which is administered by the Board of Governors of the
California Community Colleges, as the 3 segments of public
postsecondary education in this state. Existing law authorizes the
regents, the trustees, and the board to employ officers and other
employees.
   This bill would prohibit the trustees from, and request the
regents to refrain from, increasing the monetary compensation, as
defined, of, or approving a monetary bonus for, any executive
officer, as defined, of the university within 2 years of a fiscal
year in which the mandatory systemwide fees of the university are
increased from the immediately preceding fiscal year, or in which the
General Fund appropriation to the university in the annual Budget
Act is less than, or equal to, the General Fund appropriation to the
university in the annual Budget Act for the immediately preceding
fiscal year. The bill would prohibit the trustees from, and request
the regents to refrain from, providing monetary compensation to an
incoming executive officer that exceeds 105% of the monetary
compensation of the immediately preceding executive officer of the
same classification that the incoming executive officer is replacing.
 The b   ill would repeal these provisions on January
1, 2023. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
