	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1008, Dutton.  Public school facilities funding:  hazardous
materials evaluation and removal.
    Existing law, the Leroy F. Greene School Facilities Act of 1998,
requires the State Allocation Board to allocate to applicant school
districts, prescribed per-unhoused-pupil state funding for
construction and modernization of school facilities, including
hardship funding, and supplemental funding for site development and
acquisition, including prescribed amounts for hazardous materials
evaluation and response action for new construction projects.
   This bill would authorize the board, within those limits, to
adjust the grant amount for new construction projects if, due to
increased requirements, the actual cost and associated fees paid by a
school district for allowable hazardous materials evaluation and
removal exceeds the grant apportionment.


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


  SECTION 1.  Section 17072.14 is added to the Education Code, to
read:
   17072.14.  Notwithstanding Section 17070.63, the board may allow
adjustments to a new construction grant if, as a result of additional
requirements imposed by the Department of Toxic Substances Control,
the actual amount paid by a school district for allowable costs of
hazardous materials evaluation and removal, including associated
fees, exceeds the amount of the grant apportionment for those
purposes.  The combined amount of the initial apportionment for these
purposes and the adjustment pursuant to this section may not exceed
the amount permitted pursuant to Section 17072.13.
