	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 85, as amended, Mendoza. School facilities: security locks.
   Existing law, the Leroy F. Greene School Facilities Act of 1998
(the Greene Act), 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. Under existing law, all new construction
projects submitted to the Division of the State Architect pursuant
to the Greene Act are required to include locks that allow doors to
classrooms and rooms with an occupancy of 5 or more persons to be
locked from the inside, except as specified.
   Existing law requires the Department of General Services to pass
upon, and approve or reject, all plans for the construction of, or,
if the estimated cost exceeds $25,000, the alteration of, any
building used, or designed to be used, for community college
purposes.
   This bill, on and after July 1, 2012, would require  both
new construction and  modernization projects for school
facilities submitted  under the Greene Act  to the Division
of the State Architect  that include rehabilitation in a
classroom or a room with an occupancy of 5 or more persons  , as
well as construction plans for community college facilities
submitted to the Department of General Services, to include locks
that allow doors to be locked from the inside, except as specified.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
