LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 1867, as amended, Lee.
School facilities: modernization projects: bathrooms.
Existing law, the Leroy F. Greene School Facilities Act of 1998 (the Greene Act), requires the State Allocation Board to allocate to applicant school districts prescribed per-unhoused-pupil state funding for the construction and modernization of school facilities, including hardship funding, and supplemental funding for site development and acquisition.
This bill would require the governing board of a school district, if the governing board of the school district a school district, county office of education, or charter school that intends to seek state funding pursuant to the Greene Act for a school modernization project for a school facility constructed
before January 1, 2012, to include, as part of the modernization project submitted to the Division of the State Architect, faucet aerators and water-conserving plumbing fixtures in all bathrooms. The bill would provide that these provisions apply only to those projects submitted to the Division of the State Architect beginning 3 months after voters approve a statewide general obligation bond that provides funds for certain school facilities at a statewide election occurring after November 1, 2022. The bill also would provide that these provisions apply only to those projects that contain an existing faucet or water plumbing fixture in the space to be modernized or repaired and propose to
modernize or repair or make alterations to the interior of a school building and do not apply to projects that only propose to repair or make alterations to the exterior of a school building, the school grounds, or the playing fields of a school. The bill also would provide that these provisions do not apply to bathrooms that already contain both faucet aerators and water-conserving plumbing fixtures at the time the modernization project is submitted.
