Requiring governmental entities contracting to community college services to pay authorized salary increases.

House Committe on Higher Education

Senate Committee on Education

SYNOPSIS AS ENACTED

BACKGROUND:

State law authorizes community college governing boards to offer educational services on a contractual basis to private or governmental organizations.  The contracts must be consistent with rules adopted by the State Board for Community College Education.  The contracts may be based on a special fee which is not determined by statutory tuition and fee rates.  The fee will go to the participating district and must not be less than the full instructional cost of providing the service.

State law does not permit community college trustees to serve as elected officers or members of the legislative authority of municipal corporations.

SUMMARY:

When community college districts provide educational services on a contractual basis, the fees charged for those services must include any salary increases authorized by the legislature for community college employees during the term of the agreements.

A statutory prohibition against members of community college boards of trustees serving either as elected officers or members of the legislative authority of municipal corporations is removed.
