Notwithstanding any other provision of law:

(a) The Compton Community College District shall receive apportionment for courses provided at the Compton Community Educational Center by the partner district pursuant to Section 74292, subject to the transfer of moneys described in Sections 41329.53 and 41329.55 and in accordance with the following schedule:

(1) For the 2005–06 fiscal year, an amount not less than the amount that was received by the Compton Community College District for the attendance of full-time equivalent students for the 2004–05 fiscal year.

(2) For the 2006–07 fiscal year, an amount not less than 90 percent of the amount that was received by the Compton Community College District for the attendance of full-time equivalent students for the 2004–05 fiscal year.

(3) For the 2007–08 fiscal year, an amount not less than 80 percent of the amount that was received by the Compton Community College District for the attendance of full-time equivalent students for the 2004–05 fiscal year.

(4) For the 2008–09 fiscal year, an amount not less than 70 percent of the amount that was received by the Compton Community College District for the attendance of full-time equivalent students for the 2004–05 fiscal year.

(b) In allocating funds for categorical aid to the Compton Community College District, the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges shall treat the Compton Community Educational Center as a separate college.

(c) The Compton Community College District shall not be subject to Section 84362 for the 2003–04 fiscal year to the 2008–09 fiscal year, inclusive.

(d) Should the loss of accreditation by the Compton Community College result in a lapse of federal financial assistance to otherwise eligible students before their eligibility is recognized through the partner district, the Compton Community College District may use a portion of the proceeds from the loan described in Section 41329.58 to provide comparable amounts of assistance to eligible students. This replacement funding shall not extend beyond the end of the term during which the lapse of federal funding occurred.

(e) The provisions of subdivision (a) shall be used solely to determine the apportionment funding to be allocated to the Compton Community College District. In computing statewide entitlements to funding based upon the attendance of full-time equivalent students, neither the Compton Community College District nor its partner district shall be credited with more full-time equivalent students for the Compton Community College District than were actually enrolled in attendance. It is the intent of the Legislature that any amounts necessary to make the apportionments required pursuant to subdivision (a) shall be drawn from the total statewide funding available for community college apportionments.
