   An act to amend Section 15282 of the Education Code, relating to
school bonds.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1199, as amended, Brownley. School bonds: citizens' oversight
committee.
   Existing law requires  that  , if a bond measure
that provides financing for certain types of school facilities is
approved by voters,  then  the governing board of a
school district or community college  shall   to
 establish and appoint members to an independent citizens'
oversight committee. Existing law also requires members of a citizens'
oversight committee to serve for a term of 2 years without
compensation and for no more than 2 consecutive terms.
   This bill would instead provide that members of a citizens'
oversight committee serve for a  minimum  term of 2 years
without compensation and for no more than 3 consecutive terms.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
