	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Anderson

                        FEBRUARY 25, 2009

   An act to amend Section 60510 of, and to repeal Section 60511 of,
the Education Code, relating to instructional materials.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 525, as introduced, Anderson. Instructional materials: surplus
or undistributed obsolete.
   (1) Existing law provides for the disposition of surplus or
undistributed obsolete instructional materials that are usable for
instructional purposes in various ways, including, but not limited
to, by donation to a nonprofit charitable organization, or by sale to
an organization that agrees to use the materials solely for
educational purposes.
   This bill would permit that sale without an assurance that the
materials will be used solely for educational purposes.
   (2) Existing law requires an organization, agency, or institution
that receives instructional materials under these provisions to
certify that it agrees to use the instructional materials for
educational purposes and agrees to make no charge of any kind to the
persons to whom the organization gives or lends the instructional
materials.
   This bill would repeal that requirement.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
