<p class="MsoNormal">This bill would require each campus of the California Community Colleges and the California State University, and would request each campus of the University of California, to identify in the online version of the campus course schedule
its courses that exclusively use digital course materials, as specified, and communicate to students that the course materials for these courses are free of charge and therefore not required to be purchased. By imposing new duties on community college districts,
this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. <span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">
