   Existing law requires the State Board of Education and the

materials for use in schools, if the materials are both available and
comparable to other equivalent instructional materials.

to provide  an electronic copy   a digital
version  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  an electronic device  . 
The bill would provide that during the school year digital versions
of an adopted instructional material may be provided to pupils in
compliance with a specified court case settlement agreement 
 . The bill, notwithstanding any other law, would provide that at
the end of the school year digital versions of an adopted
instructional material supplied to pupils may be treated as surplus
property and retained by those pupils.
