	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1915, Alarcon.  Deferred maintenance.
   Existing law authorizes the governing board of a school district
to establish a restricted deferred maintenance fund, provides for the
deposit of prescribed local funds, and provides for the deposit of
matching state funds.
   Existing law requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to
certify whenever, in any given fiscal year, a school district has
budgeted prescribed amounts in its deferred maintenance fund.
   This bill would delete this requirement.
   Existing law requires the State Allocation Board to apportion to
school districts the state matching funds for deferred maintenance,
and establishes the maximum required local deferred maintenance
budget, on the basis of the school district's current-year revenue
limit average daily attendance.
   This bill would, instead, base those calculations upon the school
district's second prior fiscal year revenue limit average daily
attendance, would require the allocation to be made after December 1
of each fiscal year, and would make conforming changes.


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


  SECTION 1.  Section 17584 of the Education Code is amended to read:

   17584.  (a) The State Allocation Board shall apportion, from the
State School Deferred Maintenance Fund, to school districts an amount
equal to one dollar ($1) for each one dollar ($1) of local funds up
to a maximum of 1/2 percent of the district's second prior fiscal
year revenue limit average daily attendance multiplied by the
average, per unit of second prior fiscal year average daily
attendance, of the total expenditures and ending fund balances of the
total general funds and adult education funds for districts of
similar size and type, as defined in subdivision (b) of Section
42238.4, for the second prior fiscal year, exclusive of any amounts
expended for capital outlay, debt service, or revenues that are
passed through to other local education agencies, to the extent of
funds available.
   (b) In order to be eligible to receive state aid pursuant to
subdivision (a), no district shall be required to budget from local
district funds an amount greater than 1/2 percent of the district's
second prior fiscal year revenue limit average daily attendance,
multiplied by the average, per unit of second prior fiscal year
average daily attendance, of the total expenditures and ending fund
balances of the total general funds and adult education funds for
districts of similar size and type, as defined in subdivision (b) of
Section 42238.4 for the second prior fiscal year, exclusive of any
amounts expended for capital outlay, debt service, or revenues that
are passed through to other local educational agencies.
   (c) The apportionment of funds specified in subdivision (a) shall
be made by the State Allocation Board after December 1 of each fiscal
year.
  SEC. 2.  Section 17591 of the Education Code is amended to read:
   17591.  Each district desiring an apportionment pursuant to
Section 17584 shall file with the State Allocation Board and receive
approval of a five-year plan of the maintenance needs of the district
over that five-year period.  This plan may be amended from time to
time.  Any expenditure of funds from the district deferred
maintenance fund shall conform to the plan approved by the State
Allocation Board.
  SEC. 3.  Section 17592.5 of the Education Code is amended to read:

   17592.5.  The Joint Powers Southern California Regional
Occupational Center and the Joint Powers Central County Occupational
Center shall be deemed to be school districts for purposes of
Sections 17582 to 17592, inclusive, and for the purposes of Section
17584.
