	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 301, as introduced, Liu. Education facilities:
Kindergarten-University Public Education Facilities Bond Act of 2014.

   Existing law, the California Constitution, prohibits the
Legislature from creating a debt or liability that singly or in the
aggregate with any previous debts or liabilities exceeds the sum of
$300,000, except by an act that (1) authorizes the debt for a single
object or work specified in the act, (2) has been passed by a 2/3
vote of all the members elected to each house of the Legislature, (3)
has been submitted to the people at a statewide general or primary
election, and (4) has received a majority of all the votes cast for
and against it at that election.
   Existing law, the Kindergarten-University Public Education
Facilities Bond Act of 2006, authorizes $10,416,000,000 of state
general obligation bonds to provide aid to school districts, charter
schools, county superintendents of schools, county boards of
education, the California Community Colleges, the University of
California, the Hastings College of the Law, and the California State
University to construct and modernize education facilities.
   This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation that would create the Kindergarten-University Public
Education Facilities Bond Act of 2014 to authorize an unspecified sum
of state general obligation bonds to provide aid to school
districts, county superintendents of schools, county boards of
education, the California Community Colleges, the University of
California, the Hastings College of the Law, and the California State
University to construct and modernize education facilities.
   The bill would also express the Legislature's intent that the bond
act would become operative only if approved by the voters at the
November 4, 2014, statewide general election, and would provide for
its submission to the voters at that election.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
