	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 699, Canciamilla.  Instructional materials.
   Existing law provides for a program for the adoption of lists of
instructional materials, makes certain requirements relating to the
publishers and manufacturers of instructional materials, establishes
the State Instructional Materials Fund for the purposes of providing
funds for the acquisition of instructional materials, sets forth
local order procedures, and sets forth other requirements relating to
instructional materials.  Existing law requires the Instructional
Materials Program to sunset on June 30, 2001.
   This bill would reactivate the Instructional Materials Program
commencing January 1, 2002, and would sunset the program June 30,
2006, and would provide that funding for that program in the 2002-03,
2003-04, 2004-05, and 2005-06 fiscal years shall be contingent upon
funding in the annual Budget Act.   The bill would require publishers
to submit standards maps to local districts prior to purchase for
the purpose of allowing districts to determine the extent to which
instructional materials are aligned to the content standards, as
specified.  The bill would require the maps to be filled out using a
standard form created and approved by the State Board of Education.

as being aligned with the content standards adopted by the State
