	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 733, Torlakson. Instructional Materials Funding Realignment
Program.
   The Instructional Materials Funding Realignment Program requires
the State Department of Education to apportion funds appropriated for
purposes of the program to school districts to ensure that each
pupil is provided with a standards-aligned textbook or basic
instructional materials as adopted by the State Board of Education
subsequent to the adoption of content standards for kindergarten and
grades 1 to 8, inclusive, or as adopted by the local governing board
for grades 9 to 12, inclusive. The program becomes inoperative on
July 1, 2007, and is repealed on January 1, 2008.
   This bill would require the program to be administered for
purposes of funding as if it had been operative at the beginning of
the 2007-08 fiscal year, make the program operative on January 1,
2008, and change the inoperative and repeal dates to July 1, 2013,
and January 1, 2014, respectively.



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

  SECTION 1.  Section 60424 of the Education Code is amended to read:

   60424.  This chapter shall be administered for purposes of funding
as if it had been operative at the beginning of the 2007-08 fiscal
year and shall become operative on January 1, 2008. This chapter
shall become inoperative on July 1, 2013, and, as of January 1, 2014,
is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that becomes operative
on or before January 1, 2014, deletes or extends the dates on which
it becomes operative and is repealed.
