§ 12220 Federal Act Administration Authority

This law says that if a federal program says it should be run in California by the California Community College Board or its staff, then those people can run it and have the power to work with the U.S. government.

Key Takeaways

  • •Federal programs can be run by the California Community College Board if Congress says so.
  • •The Board and its officers get all the power they need to run the program.
  • •They can cooperate with the U.S. government and follow any rules the federal law sets.

Example

Congress creates a scholarship program for community‑college students and the law says the California Community College Board will manage it.

The Board and its staff can handle the scholarships, set the rules, and work with the federal agency that created the program, because this statute gives them that authority.
