This law puts $745,853,000 from special bonds into a fund that can be used to build, fix, or buy equipment for California Community Colleges.

Key Takeaways

  • •Money can be used for new buildings, fixing old ones, buying equipment, buying land, and paying for early planning work.
  • •Equipment bought with the money should last about 10 years.

Example

A community college wants to build a new science lab and needs money for the building and the lab equipment.

The college can ask the state to use part of the $745,853,000 fund to pay for the construction and the equipment that will be used for about 10 years.

How to Calculate

Total Fund Amount = $745,853,000

  1. Look at the law – it says the sum of seven hundred forty‑five million eight hundred fifty‑three thousand dollars shall be deposited.
  2. Write that amount as a number: $745,853,000.
  3. That number is the total money available for all projects under this article.

A college asks for $50,000 to buy new lab equipment.

Result: After the request, $745,803,000 would remain in the fund ( $745,853,000 – $50,000 = $745,803,000 ).
