	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Havice

                        JANUARY 4, 2001

   An act to add Article 4.5 (commencing with Section 32246) to
Chapter 2 of Part 19 of the Education Code, relating to school
safety.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 80, as introduced, Havice.  School safety: lead.
   Under the Lead-Safe Schools Protection Act, the State Department
of Health Services is required to survey schools for the purpose of
developing risk factors to predict lead contamination in public
schools.  Existing law requires the department to work with the State
Department of Education to develop guidelines to ensure that lead
hazards are minimized in the course of school repair and maintenance
programs and abatement procedures.
   This bill would require a school district to require its district
level maintenance supervisors to participate in training offered by
the State Department of Health Services through the California
Lead-Safe Schools Program after which the district level maintenance
supervisors would be required to train certain school district
maintenance employees in procedures and methods based on the training
received through the California Lead-Safe Schools Program.  These
training program requirements would impose a state-mandated local
program.
  The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement, including the creation of a State Mandates Claims Fund
to pay the costs of mandates that do not exceed $1,000,000 statewide
and other procedures for claims whose statewide costs exceed
$1,000,000.
   This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates
determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state,
reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these
statutory provisions.
   Vote:  majority.  Appropriation:  no.  Fiscal committee:  yes.
State-mandated local program:  yes.


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


  SECTION 1.  Article 4.5 (commencing with Section 32246) is added to
Chapter 2 of Part 19 of the Education Code, to read:

      Article 4.5.  Lead Safety

   32246.  (a) Each school district shall require its district level
maintenance supervisors to participate in training offered by the
State Department of Health Services through the California Lead-Safe
Schools Program.
   (b) After participating in training pursuant to subdivision (a),
district level maintenance supervisors shall train school district
maintenance employees whose worksites are facilities used as public
elementary schools, public preschools, and public day care facilities
in procedures and methods based on the training offered by the State
Department of Health Services through the California Lead-Safe
Schools Program.
   (c) This section applies to school districts whose supervisors and
employees have not received the training required pursuant to this
section within the four years immediately preceding the effective
date of this section.
  SEC. 2.  Notwithstanding Section 17610 of the Government Code, if
the Commission on State Mandates determines that this act contains
costs mandated by the state, reimbursement to local agencies and
school districts for those costs shall be made pursuant to Part 7
(commencing with Section 17500) of Division 4 of Title 2 of the
Government Code.  If the statewide cost of the claim for
reimbursement does not exceed one million dollars ($1,000,000),
reimbursement shall be made from the State Mandates Claims Fund.
