BILL NUMBER: SB 891	INTRODUCED
	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Senator Lowenthal

                        FEBRUARY 18, 2011

   An act relating to school facilities.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 891, as introduced, Lowenthal. School facilities:
modernization.
   Existing law, the Leroy F. Greene School Facilities Act of 1998,
requires the State Allocation Board to allocate to applicant school
districts, prescribed per-unhoused-pupil state funding for
construction and modernization of school facilities, including
hardship funding, and supplemental funding for site development and
acquisition. Existing law makes a school district eligible to receive
an apportionment for the modernization of a permanent school
building that is more than 25 years old or a portable classroom that
is at least 20 years old. Existing law requires the board to adopt
regulations to adjust the per-pupil amounts for modernization
projects for school buildings that are 50 years old or older based on
the higher costs associated with modernizing older buildings.
   This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation that would improve and enhance the program for
modernizing school facilities.
   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.  It is the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation that would improve and enhance the program for
modernizing school facilities.
