Bill > AB530

This bill, known as the California State University Transparency Act of 2025, requires the California State University (CSU) to create a comprehensive, public-facing online platform that provides detailed information about state fund expenditures over $10,000 by July 1, 2027. The website must include specific details for each expenditure, such as the recipient's name and address (excluding individual names), expenditure amount, transaction type, originating CSU department, program type, purpose description, and purchased items. For investment transfers, only the total amount and fund source will be disclosed. The platform must allow users to search, download, and manage the information, and provide mechanisms for public feedback, including the ability to comment on the utility of the information and recommend improvements to the website's design. The website will initially populate with 2026-2027 fiscal year data and will be updated monthly thereafter with the most recent month's expenditure information. The bill ensures transparency while protecting confidential or legally exempt information, and requires CSU to collaborate with the Department of Finance and Governor's office in compiling the required data.
