	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Senator Lara

                        FEBRUARY 22, 2013

   An act to add Section 60053 to the Education Code, relating to
instructional materials.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 682, as introduced, Lara. Instructional materials: electronic
copies.
   Existing law requires the State Board of Education and the
governing board of each school district maintaining one or more high
schools to adopt instructional materials for use in kindergarten and
grades 1 to 8, inclusive, and high schools, respectively. Existing
law authorizes the governing board of a school district to include
relevant technology-based materials when adopting instructional
materials for use in schools, if the materials are both available and
comparable to other equivalent instructional materials.
   This bill would authorize the governing board of a school district
to provide an electronic copy of an adopted instructional material
to a pupil that may be downloaded onto the pupil's personal
electronic tablet or other electronic device, and would provide that
a pupil shall not be required to relinquish the electronic copy of
the adopted instructional material at the completion of the course
for which it was provided.
   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 60053 is added to the Education Code, to read:
   60053.  The governing board of a school district may provide an
electronic copy of an adopted instructional material to a pupil that
may be downloaded onto the pupil's personal electronic tablet or
other electronic device. The pupil shall not be required to
relinquish the electronic copy of the adopted instructional material
at the completion of the course for which it was provided.
