(b) For the 2009-10 to 2014-15 fiscal years, inclusive, the
chancellor shall apportion from the amounts provided in the annual
Budget Act for the programs enumerated in paragraph (2) of
subdivision (a), an amount to a community college district, based on
the same relative proportion that the community college district

adjusted for any greater or lesser amount appropriated for the items
enumerated in paragraph (2) of subdivision (a).

Constitution on the amount so reduced.
(2) If a community college district elects to use funding received
pursuant to subdivision (b) in the manner authorized pursuant to

district shall, at a regularly scheduled open public hearing, take
testimony from the public, discuss, and shall approve or disapprove
the proposed use of funding.
(3) (A) If a community college district elects to use funding
received pursuant to subdivision (b) in the manner authorized
pursuant to subdivision (a), the community college district shall
continue to report the expenditures pursuant to this section by using
the appropriate codes to indicate the activities for which these
funds were expended using the existing standard reporting process as
determined by the chancellor.
(B) The chancellor shall collect the information in subparagraph
(A) and shall provide that information to the Department of Finance
and to the appropriate policy and budget committees of the
Legislature on or before April 15, 2010, and annually thereafter by
April 15 of each year, through 2016.
(d) For the 2009-10 to 2014-15 fiscal years, inclusive, community
college districts that elect to use funding in the manner authorized
pursuant to subdivision (a) shall be deemed to be in compliance with
the program and funding requirements contained in statutory,
regulatory, and provisional language, associated with the programs
enumerated in subdivision (a).
