LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
The Charter Schools Act of 1992 authorizes the establishment and operation of charter schools.
Existing law authorizes a chartering authority to renew the approval of a charter school petition under specified procedures. Existing law authorizes a charter to be granted by a chartering authority under designated provisions for a period not to exceed 5 years, except that existing law required all charter schools whose term expires on or between January 1, 2022, and June 30, 2025, inclusive, to have their term extended by 2 years.
This bill, notwithstanding the renewal process and criteria
effective July 1, 2021, would require all charter schools whose term expires on or between January 1, 2024, and June 30, 2027, inclusive, to have their term extended by one additional year.
By imposing new duties on local educational agencies acting as chartering authorities, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making
that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
Digest Key
Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee:Bill Text
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
SECTION 1.
Section 20175 is added to the Public Contract Code, to read:20175.
(a) Notwithstanding any other law, the City of Elk Grove, with approval of the city council, may utilize construction manager at-risk construction contracts for the city’s zoo project. A construction manager at-risk construction contract may be awarded using either the lowest responsible bidder or best value method to a construction manager at-risk entity that possesses or that obtains sufficient bonding to cover the contract amount for construction services and risk and liability insurance as may be required by the city. Any payment or performance bond written for the purposes of this section shall be written using a bond form developed by the city.SEC. 2.
The Legislature finds and declares that a special statute is necessary and that a general statute cannot be made applicable within the meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the California Constitution because of the unique conditions in the City of Elk Grove that make it necessary to grant the city the authority to utilize the contracting methods described in this act.Notwithstanding the renewal process and criteria established in Sections 47605.9, 47607, and 47607.2 or any other law, effective July 1, 2021, all charter schools whose term expires on or between January 1, 2022, and June 30, 2025, inclusive, shall have their term extended by two years, and all charter schools whose term expires on or between January 1, 2024, and June 30, 2027, inclusive, shall have their term extended by one additional
year.
If the Commission on State Mandates determines that this act contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement to local agencies and school districts for those costs shall be made pursuant to Part 7 (commencing with Section 17500) of Division 4 of Title 2 of the Government Code.
