Local College Districts

The bill authorizes the board of trustees (board) of any local college district to determine the number of trustees on the board and permits certain-sized boards that establish board member districts to designate some board member districts as at-large districts.

Under existing law, voters must approve a school district's annexation into a local college district at a regular biennial school election. The bill removes that restriction so that the approval vote may occur at any regular election.

The bill permits a recipient of a local investments in transformational affordable housing grant for a project in a rural community or rural resort community to prioritize providing affordable housing for enrolled postsecondary students, local college district employees, and local government employees in buildings on land owned and controlled by a local college district.
