	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 368, Evans  Technical Education: equipment: sales.
   Existing law establishes various programs for vocational and
career technical education in the public schools.
   This bill would require the State Department of Education to
develop and maintain a registry of career technical education
equipment that is listed for sale and make the registry accessible to
school districts via an Internet Web site. The bill would authorize
a school district that intends to offer for sale any career technical
education equipment, including table saws, drafting equipment, or
auto diagnostic tools, to list the equipment in the registry
established by the department. The bill would require the equipment
listed in the registry to be offered for sale in the first instance
to other school districts and maintained in the registry for a period
of no less than 4 months unless the equipment is purchased, as
specified. The bill would require on or before March 1, 2010, the
Legislative Analyst to report to the Legislature on the efficacy of
the registry and would authorize the Legislative Analyst to submit
the report to the Legislature by including it in its annual analysis
of the Budget Bill.
   The bill would repeal those provisions on January 1, 2012.
