AI Summary
This bill expands the existing common course numbering system for California Community Colleges to include firefighting and law enforcement education courses, meaning these courses will receive standardized course numbers across all campuses to simplify student transfers and reduce credit accumulation issues. The common course numbering system, which is intended to be student-friendly and ensure comparable courses have the same number, was initially mandated for general education and transfer pathway courses by July 1, 2027, and this bill adds these specific career education courses to that requirement. If this expansion necessitates additional costs for community college campuses, the state will reimburse them as per established procedures for state-mandated local programs.
