Summary

The bill caps a community college district’s annual unrestricted general‑fund balance at half of its unrestricted expenditures, unless the district meets three specific conditions. It also restricts transfers of unrestricted funds to other funds that would push those balances above 33% of expenditures. Districts that exceed the cap must give the excess money to non‑supervisory, non‑management staff.
