Title: Public Postsecondary Education: Overnight Student Parking
Status:Assembly Higher Education Committee
Position: Oppose
Summary: This bill would require each community college district (CCD) and the Chancellor of the California State University (CSU) to establish a program to allow overnight parking by eligible students. The bill would require CCDs, with the participation of basic needs coordinators, and the Chancellor of the CSU, with the participation of student representatives, to determine a plan of action for implementing these programs. The bill would impose duties on basic needs coordinators related to the community college programs, including when acceptance of applications from eligible students would begin.
This bill would also require an eligible student who participates in a program to be granted access to overnight parking until the student is provided access to a suitable alternative, including a hotel voucher through a public agency or community organization. The bill would provide that a campus is not civilly liable for a campus employee’s good faith act or omission that fails to prevent an injury to a participating student that occurs in, or in close proximity to, and during the hours of operation of, overnight parking. The bill would require campuses to report to the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office or the Chancellor of the CSU certain information, including the socioeconomic and demographic backgrounds of participating students.
