	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1324, Lowenthal  School buildings: relocatable buildings.
   Existing law, the Field Act, requires that an owned relocatable
building that is to be used for school purposes is subject to certain
provisions requiring approval of plans and relating to the
structural safety of school buildings.  The existing Field Act
provides that, notwithstanding those provisions, an owned or leased
relocatable building that does not meet those requirements may be
used until September 30, 2007, as a school building, if certain
conditions are met, including, among others, that the relocatable
building was manufactured and in use for classroom purposes on or
before May 1, 2000, and bears a commercial coach insignia of approval
from the Department of Housing and Community Development.
   This bill would authorize the use of those owned or leased
relocatable buildings as a school building until September 30, 2015,
if the specified conditions are met. The bill would also include, as
additional conditions, that the relocatable building be anchored to
the ground to resist earthquake and wind loads and that the school
district has certified to the Department of General Services that the
relocatable building complies with the conditions.
   Existing law requires, for each relocatable building used as a
school building, the governing board of a school district to adopt a
resolution by October 30, 2007, certifying to the State Allocation
Board that commencing September 30, 2007, the relocatable building is
no longer being used as a school building.
   This bill would instead require, for each relocatable building
used as a school building, the governing board of a school district
to adopt a resolution by October 30, 2015, certifying to the board
that commencing September 30, 2015, the relocatable building is no
longer being used as a school building. The bill would also delete an
obsolete provision.
