Is legislature looking for magic?

From page 15 (pdf page 21) of the "Supplemental Report of the 2018-19 Budget Act" published by the Legislative Analyst's Office (LAO):

Item 6440-001-0001—University of California

Plan to Limit Nonresident Enrollment. The University of California shall develop a plan starting in fall 2020 to gradually reduce the enrollment of nonresident freshman students to no more than 10 percent of the freshman class at every campus by 2029-30. The plan shall include options for replacing the revenues from nonresident students, including but not limited to increasing nonresident tuition for the remaining nonresidents and increasing General Fund support from the state. The options shall not include increasing tuition on resident students for this purpose.

The university shall submit this plan to the Legislature by April 1, 2019. It is the intent of the Legislature that the plan would be implemented once approved, with any necessary changes, by the Legislature through the 2019-20 budget process.

Are we to believe that when the "plan" says give UC more money legislators, it will magically happen?
