Senate BillNo. 572


Introduced by Senator Pan

February 26, 2015


An act to amend Section 17388 of the Education Code, relating to school facilities.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

SB 572, as introduced, Pan. School facilities: school district advisory committee: use or disposition of school buildings.

Existing law authorizes the governing board of any school district, and, prior to the sale, lease, or rental of any excess real property, except rentals not exceeding 30 days, requires the governing board of any school district, to appoint a school district advisory committee to advise the governing board of the school district in the development of districtwide policies and procedures governing the use or disposition of school buildings or space in school buildings which is not needed for school purposes.

This bill would instead require the governing board of a school district to appoint a school district advisory committee for those purposes regardless of the sale, lease, or rental of any excess real property. By imposing additional duties on the governing board of a school district, this bill 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.

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:
