Ed. Code, § 76365

The board of governors shall adopt regulations regarding the authority of community college districts to require students to provide various types of instructional materials. These regulations shall reflect the intent of the Legislature that community college districts are not required to provide all materials, textbooks, equipment, and clothing necessary for each course and program. These regulations shall specify the conditions under which districts may require students to provide those materials that are of continuing value to the student outside of the classroom setting, including, but not limited to, textbooks, tools, equipment, clothing, and those materials that are necessary for the student’s vocational training and employment. The regulations shall establish a process for monitoring district compliance with these regulations.
