	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 305, Corbett. School facilities: construction: seismic
mitigation.
   Existing law requires the Department of General Services, in
consultation with the Seismic Safety Commission, to conduct an
inventory of public school buildings that are concrete tilt-up school
buildings and school buildings with nonwood frame walls that do not
meet specified standards. The Kindergarten-University Public
Education Facilities Bond Act of 2006 makes available up to $199.5
million for the purposes of seismic repair, reconstruction, or
replacement pursuant to the Hardship Assistance Program of the Leroy
F. Greene School Facilities Act of 1998.
   This bill would require the Office of the State Architect, within
its existing resources, to update the seismic safety inventory of
school buildings and related report to more accurately identify
building deficiencies in school facilities currently being used for
public school purposes. The bill would require the State Allocation
Board to use the information from this updated inventory and report
to inform the development of eligibility criteria for the Seismic
Mitigation Program, as defined.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 17075.20 is added to the Education Code, to
read:
   17075.20.  The Office of the State Architect, within its existing
resources, shall update the inventory and report prepared pursuant to
Section 17317 to more accurately identify building deficiencies in
facilities currently being used for public school purposes. The board
shall use the information from this updated inventory and report to
inform the development of eligibility criteria for the Seismic
Mitigation Program. For purposes of this article, "Seismic Mitigation
Program" means funding made available for seismic repair,
reconstruction, or replacement under paragraph (1) of subdivision (a)
of Section 101012.
