(a) The Curriculum
				  Committee is comprised of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, the
				  Chancellor of the California Community Colleges, and the Chief DAS, or their
				  respective designees. The Curriculum Committee shall meet at least twice a
				  year, and a unanimous vote shall be necessary for committee action. Each
				  committee member may appoint up to three non-voting advisory members to attend
				  committee meetings. The Chief DAS or its designee will act as secretary for the
				  committee.
The address of the Curriculum Committee is:
DIVISION OF APPRENTICESHIP STANDARDS
ATTN: ELECTRICIAN CERTIFICATION CURRICULUM COMMITTEE
P.O. BOX 420603
SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94142-0603
(b) The Curriculum Committee shall adopt
				  Curriculum Standards that satisfy the requirements of Labor Code section
				  3099.4. DAS
				  shall publish the Curriculum Standards, either electronically or in print, and
				  they shall be available to the public upon request.
(c) To apply for designation of its
				  curriculum as approved, an Educational Provider must submit to the Curriculum
				  Committee a copy of its proposed curriculum, proof that the proposed curriculum
				  has been certified by the State Department of Education, approved by the
				  Chancellor of the California Community Colleges, or approved or registered by
				  the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education, and a document
				  that identifies how each element in the Curriculum Standards is covered in the
				  proposed curriculum. Within 90 days of the receipt of an application, the
				  Curriculum Committee shall inform the Educational Provider in writing either
				  that the proposed curriculum is designated approved or that the application or
				  the proposed curriculum is deficient, in which case the Curriculum Committee
				  shall inform the Educational Provider the information or documentation required
				  to complete the application and why the proposed curriculum is
				  deficient.
(d) The Curriculum
				  Committee may designate as approved a curriculum that partially satisfies the
				  Curriculum Standards where the Educational Provider attests that it intends to
				  offer, or to cooperate with other Educational Providers to offer, a complete
				  Approved Curriculum for the type of certification involved in the future.
				  Approval of partial curriculum must be renewed on a yearly basis until a
				  complete curriculum is approved, by submitting a renewal request to the
				  Curriculum Committee.
(e) An
				  Educational Provider must include language in publications regarding its
				  Approved Curriculum that notifies which elements of the Curriculum Standards
				  are covered, and which are not. An Educational Provider that is not offering
				  all classes required to satisfy the Curriculum Standards must disclose in all
				  communications to students and to the public that it has only received approval
				  for a partial curriculum, and shall not make any representations that it offers
				  a complete Approved Curriculum. For purposes of this subsection, "all
				  communications" means all communications describing the curriculum, program, or
				  course offerings of the Approved Curriculum, and does not refer to
				  communications regarding internal institutional matters sent to students who
				  are already enrolled in the Approved Curriculum with the Educational
				  Provider.
(f) An Educational
				  Provider of Approved Curriculum must submit an annual notice to the Curriculum
				  Committee on the anniversary of its effective date of approval, stating whether
				  the Educational Provider is continuing to offer the Approved Curriculum, and
				  whether any material changes have been made to the Approved Curriculum since
				  the effective date of approval.
(g)
				  An Educational Provider shall send a copy of its current Approved Curriculum to
				  the Curriculum Committee within 30 days of a written request. The Curriculum
				  Committee may review the Approved Curriculum of an Educational Provider at any
				  time. The Curriculum Committee may withdraw approval if the Educational
				  Provider does not continue to meet the Curriculum Standards, or fails to
				  provide a copy of its current Approved Curriculum to the Curriculum Committee
				  upon written request. The Curriculum Committee must notify an Educational
				  Provider in writing 30 days before the effective date of a withdrawal of
				  approval, and the notice must inform the Educational Provider the grounds for
				  withdrawal, including the ways in which the curriculum does not meet the
				  Curriculum Standards.
(h) DAS shall
				  publish, either electronically or in print, a list of Educational Providers
				  with Approved Curriculum. The list shall be made available to the public upon
				  request.
