	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Norby

                        FEBRUARY 12, 2010

   An act to amend Section 42238.1 of the Education Code, relating to
education finance.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1851, as introduced, Norby. Education finance: inflation
adjustment to revenue limits.
   Existing law establishes the public elementary and secondary
school system in this state, and further establishes a funding system
pursuant to which the state apportions funds to local educational
agencies in accordance with district revenue limits, the calculation
of which is partly based on the average daily attendance of pupils at
the schools operated by those agencies. Numerous statutes and
regulations govern the calculation and reporting of average daily
attendance. Existing law requires the Superintendent of Public
Instruction to calculate an annual inflation adjustment to these
district revenue limits, and specifies the computations necessary to
make this calculation.
   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes in the
provision relating to the calculation of the annual inflation
adjustment.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 42238.1 of the Education Code is amended to
read:
   42238.1.  (a) For the 1986-87 fiscal year and each fiscal year up
to and including the 1998-99 fiscal year, the Superintendent 
of Public Instruction  shall compute an inflation
adjustment equal to the product of paragraphs (1) and (2):
   (1) Compute the sum of the following:
   (A) The statewide average base revenue limit per unit of average
daily attendance for the prior fiscal year for districts of similar
type.
   (B) The amount, if any, per unit of average daily attendance
received by the district pursuant to Article 8 (commencing with
Section 46200) of Chapter 2 of Part 26  of Division 4  for
the prior fiscal year.
   (2) The percentage change in the annual average value of the
Implicit Price Deflator for State and Local Government Purchases of
Goods and Services for the United States, as published by the United
States Department of Commerce for the 12-month period ending in the
third quarter of the prior fiscal year. This percentage change shall
be determined using the latest data available as of May 1 of the
preceding fiscal year compared with the annual average value of the
same deflator for the 12-month period ending in the third quarter of
the second preceding fiscal year, using the latest data available as
of May 1 of the second preceding fiscal year, as reported by the
Department of Finance.
   (b) For the 1999-2000 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter,
the Superintendent  of Public Instruction  shall
compute an inflation adjustment equal to the product of paragraphs
(1) and (2):
   (1) Compute the sum of the following:
   (A) The statewide average base revenue limit per unit of average
daily attendance for the prior fiscal year for districts of similar
type.
   (B) The amount, if any, per unit of average daily attendance
received by the district pursuant to Article 8 (commencing with
Section 46200) of Chapter 2 of Part 26  of Division 4  for
the prior fiscal year.
   (2) The percentage change in the annual average value of the
Implicit Price Deflator for State and Local Government Purchases of
Goods and Services for the United States, as published by the United
States Department of Commerce for the 12-month period ending in the
third quarter of the prior fiscal year. This percentage change shall
be determined using the latest data available as of May 10 of the
preceding fiscal year compared with the annual average value of the
same deflator for the 12-month period ending in the third quarter of
the second preceding fiscal year, using the latest data available as
of May 10 of the preceding fiscal year, as  report 
 reported  by the Department of Finance.
   (c) This section shall become operative July 1, 1986.
